PLA webinar focuses on boosting youth workforce preparedness and engagement
May 2, 2022
No question: The coronavirus pandemic has warped the educational path for
today’s young adults, in turn affecting their readiness for the
workforce. In the past, many young people have sought out part-time
employment in areas such as the food service industry or seasonal
employment, sectors that have been hit hard by the pandemic. These jobs
not only provided needed income but also skills training in pursuit of
college or career readiness. Now, after more than two years of COVID-19
restrictions and school disruptions, many young adults face the
necessity of working to help support their families.
*Note: Congratulations to Kate Aubin, head of youth services at Providence (R.I.) Public Library who was one of the panelist.
