Toward a Vision of Quality Summer Employment For All Youth

VIEW MORE ➝

Young people who have early work experience are more likely to finish school, work consistently throughout adulthood, and earn higher wages. However, low-income youth (particularly youth of color) have limited access to social networks and opportunities like summer and year-round employment that help them understand the world of work, earn decent wages, and master work readiness skills. That’s why CLASP helps states and communities leverage the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, as well as other education and training policies, to help low-income youth access employment and training.
