Youth CareerConnect Grants

With the funds provided by the Employment and Training Association (ETA), the Youth CareerConnect program is providing grants aimed to prepare high school students for college and future careers through restructuring curricula in order to focus on career opportunities for students as well as building relationships with universities and employers to supplement classroom instruction.
