Industry Pipeline

Type: Program model: WorkReady School-Year Program for In-School Youth

Description:
The Industry Pipeline model provides two years of comprehensive, industry-specific training for 11th and 12th grade students. It is designed to prepare participants, upon high school graduation, to become successful employees in high wage/high demand careers and/or to pursue post-secondary education. The model relies on a partnership between an employer or network of employers, a school or schools, and a youth-service organization, as well as, ideally, an institute of higher education. The industry pipeline model is designed to connect youth to post-secondary programs, work-readiness training and employment opportunities and connect regional employers to a replenishing pool of talented employees.
