Join the National Youth Employment Coalition for the nation’s leading youth workforce development forum. This national conference unites youth practitioners, policymakers, youth leaders, and stakeholders dedicated to improving the lives of youth and young adults. The Forum creates a collaborative space to share best practices, innovative ideas, advocacy strategies, and practical solutions to common challenges. The Forum works across geographies and sectors to empower each other in their mission to connect youth and young adults to workforce and educational opportunities.
Center SME, Alan Dodkowitz, will host an interactive workshop, Building a School to Apprenticeship Pipeline for Opportunity Youth, on May 12th from 1:25-2:05pm. Attendees will hear about how to establish RA programs, conduct effective outreach to opportunity youth, and gain practical tools to bridge social services and the education system with the apprenticeship system. Attendees will learn how youth’s engagement in RA can improve WIOA grantees’ performance metrics and funding utilization.
