LifeSkills Connection Inc.

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) – Connect Program – was created to provide our youth with the tools to address their educational and employment skills better. The Connect program is specially designed for educational disconnected youth to assist them in their career educational development.

The program targets individuals between the ages of 16 and 24 facing educational and employment barriers. It increases the focus on disadvantaged youth falling in one or more of the following categories: homeless, runaway, foster child, disabled, English language learner, offender, pregnant or parenting, basic skills deficient, or any other individual requiring additional assistance to
complete an educational program or to secure and hold employment.
