Only 52% of students reported that high school prepared them for the workforce. Having career conversations early helps young people better prepare for their future, build their identities, and assists with career readiness.
How do we build new models that take advantage of these opportunities and better prepare young people for the job market?
On August 16 at 1pm EST, join Catalyze Director Michelle Cheang, Ed.D., Dan Rhoton, CEO Hopeworks Camden, and Terrence Riley, executive director of Hack the Hood for a webinar on these pressing topics in career-connected learnings: bit.ly/joincatalyze
