I. U.S. Department of Labor 1) Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Reentry Employment Opportunities This program includes both reentry grants focused on serving returning adults and youth focused grants aimed at youth involved or at risk of involvement in crime and violence. The objectives of the youth reentry grants include increasing the employment, employment retention, and earnings rate of released individuals while also decreasing their rate of recidivism. The objectives of youth reentry grants include preventing in-school youth from dropping out of school, increasing the employment rate of out-of-school youth, improving the reading and math skills of youth, reducing the involvement of youth in crime and violence, and reducing the recidivism rate of youth. The REO program facilitates a smoother reentry for justice-involved individuals and helps them reintegrate into their communities. The goal is to develop strategies and partnerships that facilitate successful workforce outcomes for participants.
