Recommendations…

Encourage youth to experience the workforce through any avenue…jobs, internships, training opportunities, volunteer opportunities, etc.

Reinforce the idea that youth will need education or training beyond high school in order to be competitive

Talk about it - Share this information with business leaders, community members, elected officials, etc. in order to develop creative solutions
