What is the National Youth Employment Coalition?

The National Youth Employment Coalition improves the lives of the more than four million young people who are out of school and out of work. We do this by improving the effectiveness of the organizations, and the systems, that serve Opportunity Youth. We collect, study, and support the implementation of best practices, all with a strong equity focus. Join our membership today to get discounts to convenings, trainings, a dedicated support team and more!

Who should attend this series?

The “Ask Away” series is open to anyone who has questions about federal youth workforce policies. Most of the questions submitted are technical in nature so a general understanding of federal workforce legislation such as the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) would be beneficial. The series is designed for youth-serving professionals at any stage of their career. Workforce GPS is a great starting point for those wanting to learn more about DOL’s approach and guidance towards our public workforce system.

Will sessions be recorded?

Sessions will be recorded however recordings will not be submitted to participants. The recordings are for internal-use only to improve the quality of future “Ask Away” and collaborative efforts with the U.S DOL. You are welcome to save the Zoom chat in the session by using the directions here.

How can I ensure my question will be answered?

I need more space (character size) to submit my question. Where can I submit a longer question?

Please use the "Additional Questions Form" for questions requiring more than 255 characters. We ask you submit questions as concise and specific as possible.
