Did You Know?
- Unemployment rates for adults under 25 has been as high as 54% in recent years.
- National unemployment averages for teens remains above 20%
- Fifty-three percent of 18-24 year olds have never moved out or have returned to their parents homes.
Due to the economic downturn, young adults are facing tough employment competition from older adults. As the United States works to spur economic growth, ensuring that young adults are prepared to succeed academically and in the workforce is paramount.
As youth workers and foster care advocates we all want to see young people find loving, forever families. The second goal for me is to ensure that teens gain the skills necessary to become gainfully employed and build a lasting career.
The Teen Toolbox Packaged For Success™ Youth Portfolio Development Program combines workforce readiness and career exploration through fun, interactive activities. We deliver 21st century skills training and the Common Core Standards for education in this life skills program. Our companion to Packaged For Success™ is our ebook Get Hired: 30 Ways To Land The Job of Your Dreams.
We are here to support your youth by providing the tools for successful independent living.
