About

WorkReady Philadelphia is a system of programs supported by a broad-based partnership dedicated to building the region's future workforce. Through strategic investments of public, private and foundation funds, WorkReady programs provide academic enrichment, career and college preparation and access to the mainstream economy for thousands of deserving young people each year. The Philadelphia Youth Network is the managing partner of WorkReady Philadelphia and contracts with several dozen youth-serving organizations to operate WorkReady programs on behalf of the Philadelphia Council for College and Career Success and the Philadelphia Workforce Investment Board.
