A Toolkit for Employers: Connecting Youth & Business

This toolkit takes users through four key stages to identify and define a program to provide disconnected youth with skills for employment and adulthood.

During the first stage, employers take an assessment which will guide them to select one of three “lanes of engagement” (Soft Skills Development, Work Ready Skills Development, or Learn & Earn).

The second stage takes employers through an exercise to define the scope of their company’s work with disconnected youth. The third stage guides users through a plan to build their company’s pilot program. The fourth stage sets employers up for ongoing program development and refinement so that they can transition their pilot to an ongoing program that delivers measurable value to the business and to participating youth.
