CYD has had a successful youth workforce training partnership with Borough of Manhattan Community College’s Center for Continuing Education and Workforce Development since 2015. More than 250 young people have completed healthcare certificate training, and 60% have gone on to employment in the medical field. This model offers critical insights as we look to prepare young adults to meet the training and employment challenges of a changed employment landscape post-COVID.
Thanks to CDI board members Jackie Krese and Sovonna Day-Goins, 30 members of our schools’ Young Women’s & Men’s Leadership Groups took part in a career exploration event on May 9th at Credit Suisse.
Join us on May 22nd for a night of fun and spelling to support college and career preparation for more than 4,000 young people next year. We are abuzz in preparation!
Save the date – CDI’s third annual Spelling Bee for Grownups is coming up on May 22nd!
