Services to youth in the first year of implementation will primarily be provided through the JTPA system, until a broader youth strategy is implemented. Currently, the Renton Career Development Center has a youth leaming center on site. The Bellevue CDC has operated a program called Teen Youth Link for the past three years. This program is sponsored in partnership with the Bellevue School District, City of Bellevue, and Lake Washington Management Group. Further study and analysis steps are listed in Milestones section.
King County has fifteen school districts.
In the past, coordination efforts have primarily centered around participation in career fairs and summer youth activities. It is anticipated that a report regarding this integration strategy will be published in the fall of 1998. The CFG partnership will review this report and incorporate appropriate strategies as part of its youth service strategy.
