Preparing Youth in Afterschool for the Workforce and Building Your Own Youth Worker Pipeline
Thursday, June 30, 2022; 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM PST
When asked, older youth are most interested in acquiring the skills needed to get a job. Expanded Learning is well positioned to help older youth to acquire these skills.
In this Speaker’s Forum webinar, Bill Fennessy, Program Specialist of Workforce Initiatives at the California AfterSchool Network (CAN) will be joined by Lupita Perez (CAN), Donny Faaliliu (ASAS-LA) and Erin Sipes (EGUSD). Together they will provide information on and examples of a series of workshops on employment skills for youth. They will also discuss how high school expanded learning programs can employ their older youth in elementary expanded learning programs, thereby creating a pipeline for program staff to address the worker shortage.
