NSP_Beam_181205.mp4About the Program
The Career READY Student Youth Employment program was created to provide enhanced opportunities for youth to explore career options and develop work readiness skills. Though this model features some universal elements, it is uniquely shaped and customized by each school/SYEP provider partnership. Participating schools work with an SYEP Provider to develop programs that reinforce academic learning, support students’ personal growth and help prepare them for success in employment and careers through both school-year workshops and a summer experience!
