Youth Employment Program
September, 2026
PROGRAM GOAL: Connect Young Adults with Eligible Employers for Youth Employment Program.
WDB NEED: Identify appropriate employers for youth WEX outreach rather than conducting outreach without a defined plan. They also needed to organize employers geographically for the different teams responsible for the different counties. For example, a Youth Employment Program achieves better results when outreach is targeted efficiently.
Specialized workforce programs require more specific business targeting and engagement to succeed. EconoVue reveals hidden insights, opportunities, and high-value businesses for improved program success. The Youth Employment Program often utilizes these insights to match young adults with thriving employers.
Predict which businesses in my community are growing and hiring. Target those businesses with low/medium risk to discuss possible career pathways for young adults. WEX can help job seekers prepare for these career pathways. In fact, participation in the program increases access to potential employers and valuable career opportunities. Success happens when young adults secure job placements, and even more so when they become skilled, and even more so when they become skilled and valued employees.
