I can only assume you didn't score well when going through the testing. I'm not sure what you're expecting of the Dept. of Labor in finding jobs for the unemployed.

Does it not make sense that part of their responsibility is to help the unemployed be more prepared for the jobs they take?

Does it not make sense for employers to have a better idea who is capable of taking on the jobs they offer?

I have found this certificate a crock of sh#t. The state spend money on this program instead finding jobs for the unemployed.
What a waste of taxpayer's resources.

This is an amazing program! Not too many programs reach out to dropout students. I believe that one of the most important steps for our youth to be successful is to give them a chance to prove themselves. Just like Randy, many others are still working hard to achieve their dreams.

Yes, this is a great report and everyone should check it out. It features one of our premier youth providers Open Meadow. We are one of their primary investors and proud of the work that they do to help low-income, heavily barrier youth transition to post-secondary education and into the workforce. I'll be posting more about this on the blog shortly. Thanks for the comment!

Given the current employment environment, community colleges and other post-secondary institutions are being called upon to play an even greater role in helping young adults gain the skills needed to qualify for work. A new report from Workforce Strategy Center (WSC) and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation titled “Employers, Low-Income Young Adults and Postsecondary Credentials,” highlights programs in 14 communities that are successfully addressing the challenge of providing disadvantaged young adults with the technical and postsecondary education that may qualify them for skilled positions.

As a site host to three youth from this program, the Portland Schools Foundation has been absolutely thrilled with to participate in this work. Our three youth are passionate, engaged, and committed to our mission. They've grown through their time here and we've benefited immensely from their contributions. And WSI and the youth services provider (Open Meadow) have been great to work with. Thanks for a well-run effort this summer - let's do all we can to bring it back next year.
