Successful Futures: Workforce Development Program
Empowering the Next Generation to Achieve More
Successful Futures: Workforce Development Program provides participants with access to career exploration, training, coaching and job placement. The goal of the program is for participants to develop work-readiness skills, obtain sustainable employment and attain long-term career success.
Open Doors to a Better Future
More than 5 million young adults are cut off from the economic mainstream.
The DC Fiscal Policy Institute reported that:
- Black and Hispanic workers continue to be under-represented in the workforce.
- Black college graduates have a 5.7% unemployment rate, while non-Black graduates' rate is 1.9%.
- For people without advanced degrees, employment options are often limited to manual labor and unskilled jobs that pay less than a living wage.
Our program seeks to empower young adults to achieve the professional knowledge needed to secure meaningful employment, maintain healthy relationships and strengthen communities.
