Why Is This Important?
The relationship between education employability, job security, and earnings has been well established but, all of the youth population is not on the track for high school completion and on to college. The exact number of disconnected youth in this area is not known but it is estimated that 15% of the total youth (16 - 24 years of age) fit this definition since they are neither in school or employed. Programming is necessary to assist those who are either at risk for or who are disconnected with becoming employable and employed. Facilitating a young person's attachment to school and the labor market facilitates their transition into adulthood and positively contributing to their communities.
