Youth Ages 16 - 24
Youth Ages 16 - 24
Each year, the South Central region produces approximately 3,400 High School and another 4,000+ college graduates that are eligible to enter or advance in the workforce. To retain as many youth in our region as we can, entities such as school systems, economic development and workforce development programs and even Employer partners are working to ensure there is an awareness of career pathways among youth, educators, parents and career counselors. In addition, there are opportunities to build and retain talent through partnerships, externships and apprenticeship programs in our region.
