In Greenville County, South Carolina, the WIA youth training initiative is operated by the County of Greenville s Workforce Development department, the local Administrative Entity and Sub Grant Recipient of Workforce Investment Act funding. The Greenville County Youth Council is responsible for coordinating youth services on behalf of the Greenville County Workforce Investment Board. The Youth Council oversees the procurement process and makes recommendations for funding priorities to the Local Workforce Board. The Workforce Investment Board is ultimately responsible for all funding decisions.
