How many high school students do you think get the chance to truly understand the career paths and experiences of professionals in careers they might want to go into? This week, Youth Leadership Jeffco had the pleasure of not only visiting and touring Lockheed Martin Space, but also to do group "informational interviews" with staff members! It seems that in today's world, students are often asked to make career choices by deciding on an educational path very early, often before they have a chance to truly understand these career paths! This is one of the many ways in which the Youth Leadership Jeffco program is helping to develop and retain our workforce in Jefferson County through connection and experiences. We offer these Youth Leaders the chance to connect with incredible local organizations, many of whom are offering internships and apprenticeship programs that students may have never found out about! And of course, an opportunity like this - to speak with professionals directly - was simply incredible. We wish you could have heard all the conversations happening - inspiration in the making! A huge thanks to Lockheed Martin Space! In case you didn't know, Youth Leadership Jeffco relies upon the support of our community to provide these opportunities. Would YOU be open to sharing your time by getting involved directly, or sharing your 'treasures' this Colorado Gives Day by donating to Leadership Jeffco which also goes to the Youth Program (early giving is open and we have a generous donor who has set up a match for the first $1,000 of donations!

Results for America, a non-profit organization that helps government leaders use evidence and data to find solutions to many of society’s ills – recently issued an updated case study about the progress a program in the City of Charlotte has made to improve upward mobility for its children. A decade ago in a study about intergenerational mobility of America’s 50 biggest cities, Charlotte came in dead last, but it's made leagues of progress since. They key has been the Year Up program which, according to the case study, “operates tuition-free and provides its mostly low-income participants with six months of sector-specific technical coursework followed by a six-month internship, with the goal of transitioning them into full-time roles.” This Management Update by Barrett and Greene Inc. delves into the key components of the program, which can be useful in many other cities.
