Industry Pipeline

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

Description:
Industry Pipeline programs promote talent development in targeted industries by exposing youth to industry-specific, technical skills and training. The Industry Pipeline model provides comprehensive, two-year training for 11th and 12thgrade students specifically in high growth industries. Designed to integrate 21st Century skills with technical expertise and work-based learning opportunities, the model prepares participants, upon high school graduation, for post-secondary success in college and/or employment with local high-growth businesses. Ideally, the model relies on partnerships among employers, schools, youth-service organizations, and institutions of higher education. Services are provided during the school day as well as during out-of-school time in an effort to achieve the following youth outcomes:

• 21stCentury and work-readiness skills development
• Connection to industry professionals
• Persistence in school, as reflected in grade promotion
• Attainment of a High School Diploma
• Post-secondary preparation
• Post-secondary enrollment

During Program Year 2011-2012:
199 youth were served via this model in the last program year with the following results:

• 71% of 11thgrade participants were promoted to 12th grade
• 82% of 12thgrade participants obtained a credential
• 52% of 12thgraders transitioned into post secondary education and employment placements
