Leveling the playing field for the underserved CYEP promotes life-long learning and economic empowerment for minority, underrepresented, and low-wage populations through social, educational and workforce skill development. In doing so, we envision creating equitable opportunity and upward mobility for the underserved and low wage populations. Our approach encompasses creating a culture of inclusive lifelong learning, economic growth and a pipeline of skilled and diverse talent to support equitable opportunity and access within the labor force. This will be accomplished by creating a community-wide, systems-based approach through a collaboration with local governments, economic developers and Industry.
