The Bluegrass Workforce Investment Board (BGWIB) would like to cordially invite your company to become a sponsor for our 2007 WIA Steps To Succe$$ Youth Competition. The Competition will be held on March 30, 2007 at Eastern Kentucky University.

BGWIB

The Bluegrass Workforce Investment Board (WIB) consists of private sector representatives from the seventeen county region as well as mandated public sector partners. The purpose of the WIB is to provide policy level oversight to workforce development issues in the region and to be responsible for implementation of the Workforce Investment Act within those same counties. The WIB is committed to providing services to employers that can help those employers hire the correct employees. In doing so, the WIB must ensure that there is a skilled workforce available in the region.

WIA Steps To Succe$$ Youth Competition

What is the Youth Competition? It is a one day competition of individual and teamwork skills that will enhance the youth’s ability to compete for employment in today’s job market.

The WIA program’s main focus is to assist low income youth with barriers to continue into post secondary education and / or find suitable employment. The purpose of the event (WIA STEPS TO SUCCE$$) is to allow the youth to tie everything they have learned together and compete in various learning competitions while also having the opportunity to explore a post secondary institution and be exposed to available careers they may not have thought of. The competition includes the following categories:
  • Public Speaking - Participant presents a prepared speech five to seven (5-7) minutes in length on conference theme.
  • Decision Making - This event provides the participant with the opportunity to utilize decision-making skills by presenting situations related to employment, peer group, school, etc.
  • Employment Techniques - This event will provide the participant with the opportunity to experience a simulated employment interview situation including the opportunity to complete a job application and the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to make a telephone call and effectively secure a specific appointment for a job interview.
  • Scrapbook - This event is designed to highlight the programs work for the 2006 program year.
  • Service Learning - This event is designed to give participants the opportunity to demonstrate the program’s ability to provide service-learning activities, which partners the local agency with their community.
