Youth Development Council Priorities

Objective: To promote successful entry into the workforce through education and workplace experience.

  • Increase the number of high school graduates as well as completers.
  • Increase the number of youth who obtain a job that provides a living wage.
  • Encourage statewide employer/employee associations and chambers of commerce to work together with regional workforce boards, school districts, and post-secondary institutions to help first-time workers enter and advance in the workplace.
