National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth Updates Website
July 2009
WASHINGTON, DC -- Today the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth (NCWD/Youth) released an updated version of its content rich website, http://www.ncwd-youth.info/. Since the original launch of the NCWD/Youth website, it has been the go-to place for information relating to youth with disabilities and the workforce development and transition systems supporting them in their transition to the world of work.
The updated version of the website offers new content areas focusing on what all youth need with an emphasis on youth with disabilities and other vulnerable populations:
Workforce Development
Professional Development
Youth Development and Leadership
Helpful resources including expanded definitions, acronyms, and helpful links for a variety of topical areas
White papers, manuals, guides, and fact sheets on a variety of policy areas
Additionally, the website features a fresher look and a user-friendly interface including:
Easier search capabilities
Publications arranged by categories
Fast access to Innovative Strategies
Updated contact list for High School/High Tech sites
The updated version of the site provides numerous publications free of charge, background papers, InfoBriefs on a variety of topics, and much more.
NCWD/Youth assists state and local workforce development systems to better serve all youth, including youth with disabilities and other vulnerable youth. The NCWD/Youth, created in 2001, is composed of partners with expertise in education, youth development, disability, employment, workforce development, and family issues. Funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), the NCWD/Youth is housed at the Institute for Educational Leadership in Washington, D.C. NCWD/Youth offers a range of technical assistance services to state and local workforce investment boards, youth councils, and other workforce development system youth programs.
Thank you for your continued interest in the NCWD/Youth! We hope that you enjoy our new look and you will check back with us often.
Sincerely,
The NCWD/Youth Team
