BERKSHIRE COUNTY YOUTH COUNCIL
The MassHire Berkshire Workforce Board has formed a working youth council that is composed of educational, social service and business community representatives as well as the Workforce Board and Career Center staff and parents and participants seeking assistance. The youth council meets on a bimonthly basis.
Initiated under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Local Workforce Investment Boards (LWIB) were required to create a youth council, a standing sub-committee of the LWIB. These members bring the expertise of those they represent to the planning process dedicated to the development and implementation of a coherent, comprehensive youth policy, and to foster best practices in serving youth.
