Staying Connected: Engaging Youth Virtually
About
Now, more than ever, virtual engagement is key to connecting youth to workforce development, education, and training activities.
Across the country, youth workforce programs are finding solutions to technology and internet access challenges. Programs are engaging youth virtually in job trainings, job shadows, hiring events, youth-facilitated meetings, and more.
