Evidence

The ETA YouthBuild page describes YouthBuild as a community-based pre-apprenticeship program for opportunity youth ages 16-24, says it is administered by DOL, and states it serves more than 5,000 youth in about 200 programs in more than 40 states.

YouthBuild is still an active federal DOL program in June 2026, which points to continuation of the program rather than a completed reauthorization action in the lookback window.

The eCFR page says title 20 is up to date as of 6/04/2026, lists Part 688 as the provisions governing the YouthBuild program, and gives the authority as WIOA sections 171, 189, and 503, Pub. L. 113-128.

YouthBuild remains governed by current federal regulations as of early June 2026 under existing WIOA authority; this supports an unresolved status rather than evidence of enacted reauthorization.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

The available evidence shows YouthBuild remained an active federal program in 2026 under existing Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act authority, but it does not show that the program was formally reauthorized during Carson's tenure or that Carson materially advanced a successful reauthorization. Continuation of an existing program is not the same as proving the promised reauthorization was enacted. With no clear evidence here of passage, failure after a serious push, or decisive Carson credit, the safest adjudication is unresolved.
