Expand Youth Self-Identity Via Work Based Learning
Description:
Early work-based learning experiences can be an indicator for increased middle and high school engagement and long-term sustainable employment. However, in order for these experiences to play a meaningful role in a youth’s long-term education or career trajectory, it’s critical that youth feel like they are comfortable in knowing themselves, feel understood, acknowledged, and accepted by the adults they are engaging with.
