NOTES: Funded by the Department of Labor through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, the goal of the Workforce Pathways for Youth Project is to engage four Ys who have been delivering workforce readiness support in their communities, that help young people become career-ready. The YMCA of the USA will then leverage the robust experience of the four Ys and their Workforce Partnership Teams (ie collaborative partners) to increase access to and engagement in workforce readiness efforts. Y-USA will then develop a continuum of evidence-informed, workforce readiness strategies and leading practices to scale through Activation Cohorts. The long-term outcome will be an increase in the number of Ys offering workforce readiness services and an increase in the number of young people served. --- About the Causenetic Podcast: The Causenetic podcast is focused on expanding the Y's mission to audiences and providing conversation, inspiration, and influence.
