2:00pm to 3:30pm Eastern
In this webinar, participants will learn about the Young Adult Sectoral Employment Project (YASEP), an initiative of JobsFirstNYC that is accelerating opportunities to successfully connect out-of-work and out-of-school young adults to the economic life of New York City. YASEP has provided resources (both financial and technical assistance) to five pilot sites to plan and implement youth-serving sector initiatives in healthcare, transportation, the food industry, IT, and employment at the Bronx Zoo. In this webinar, participants will learn how the YASEP initiative builds on the five common programmatic characteristics of effective sector initiatives and what the project has learned about applying the sector approach to employment for out-of-work and out-of-school young adults.
Panelists:
- Lou Miceli, Executive Director, JobsFirstNYC
- Keri Faulhaber, Project and Operations Director, JobsFirstNYC
