Title of bill
An act relating to the establishment of a pilot program to provide job and vocational skills training to youth who have been adjudicated juvenile delinquents or juvenile offenders residing in a facility overseen by the office of children and family services; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose
Establishes a pilot program that would provide job and vocational skills training to youth who have been adjudicated juvenile delinquents or juvenile offenders and are residing in a facility overseen by the office of children and family services.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 establishes the parameters and goals of the pilot program.
Section 2 clarifies that confidentiality provisions which are otherwise applicable continue to apply to this program.
Section 3 sets out the collaboration between the department of labor and the office of children and family services on the development and operation of these training programs.
Section 4 details reporting requirements.
Section 5 contains the effective date.
Justification
This bill responds to a recommendation of the Governor's Task Force on Transforming Juvenile Justice issued in December 2009.
OCFS does not currently offer enough vocational training which will help youth in juvenile justice facilities attain practical job skills. By collaborating with the Department of Labor, OCFS will be able to ensure that these youth receive top-quality training that responds to their needs,and perhaps can smooth the path for success once they leave OCFS custody. These training programs will also help these youth develop strengths and assert control over their lives.
