22 <br /> • Partnership <br /> Funds provided under this agreement shall be used to implement a comprehensive youth service delivery <br /> system, which includes the fourteen required WIOA youth program elements as described in Section <br /> 129(c)(2) of the law. The availability, through WIOA funds and collaboration with other resources, of the <br /> fourteen (14) required elements must be assured by the Service Provider in order to assess each youth's <br /> individual needs and to tailor services to identified needs. Services shall be provided to both in-school and <br /> out-of-school youth. Not less than 75% of the WIOA funds must be spent on out-of-school youth. Not less <br /> than 25% of WIOA funds must be spent on Work-Based Learning. All youth served shall be ages 14-24 <br /> and shall meet the WIOA youth eligibility requirements specified by Capital Area and WIOA Final <br /> Regulations. As part of a year round strategy to improve youths' academic achievement and build <br /> connections between work and education, the Service Provider shall partner with the public schools, <br /> alternative schools, community colleges, and training providers to extend learning opportunities for both <br /> in-school and out-of-school youth. In-school-youth who are assessed to be basic skills deficient shall have <br /> at least one basic skill goal as part of their individual service strategy. Instruction options that vary from <br /> one-on-one tutoring and computer-based remediation to work-based learning opportunities shall be <br /> available to all youth. A variety of workforce development activities shall also be provided to help in- <br /> school and out-of-school youth identify personal and vocational interests and to begin to work toward long- <br /> term employment goals. <br /> The Service Provider shall ensure that the following requirements are met for all youth who are served <br /> under this agreement: eligibility determination, verification and certification, WIOA enrollment, <br /> comprehensive assessment, individual service strategy (ISS), comprehensive case management, <br /> information and referrals, appropriate WIOA service elements, including not less than 12 months of <br /> follow-up services. <br /> 3. Management Information System and Accountability. Accountability is an essential aspect of the <br /> administration of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. WIOA services and outcomes must be <br /> tracked, and state and federal reporting requirements must be met. The North Carolina Division of <br /> Workforce Solutions has developed an automated Management Information System through Geographic <br /> Solutions called Virtual One-Stop (VOS) to provide for the storage and maintenance of data that is <br /> necessary to comply with state and federal requirements. The Division of Workforce Solutions uses <br /> information in this system to determine each Local Area's outcomes on the federal WIOA Primary <br /> Indicators of Performance. <br /> An individual participant record is created in VOS for each youth served under WIOA. The Service <br /> Provider shall use the VOS system to track all WIOA participants from initial contact through <br /> intake/application, eligibility, enrollment into WIOA activities, case management, exit from WIOA, and <br /> 3 <br />
