📰 Important insights from Connecticut Mirror on Connecticut's workforce challenges: While our state has thousands of job openings, many young people struggle to access these opportunities. As Shannon Marimón, Executive Director of ReadyCT, aptly states: "Ultimately the goal is to ensure that we're elevating all individuals to reach their fullest potential so that they can contribute effectively to the economy and we can be a state that is very proud of that fact — and we thrive because of it." 🗣️ We believe in the power of youth voices. Our recent study, "Elevating the Voices of Young People," highlights crucial perspectives for bridging this gap and building a stronger economic future for Connecticut. 🌟 📚 Dive deeper into these important issues: Report ➡️: https://lnkd.in/eFh3i4Xf Article ➡️: https://lnkd.in/gxU3ci7Y Let's work together to unlock the potential of Connecticut's youth! #CTWorkforce #YouthEmpowerment #EconomicGrowth

Last week, Dalio Education’s Director of Partnerships, Christopher Lyddy, and CTOP’s Senior Portfolio Director, Adhlere Coffy, participated in a critical and timely panel discussion at the Connecticut Youth Services Association conference. 🙌 🎙️ The discussion centered on the vital role of youth service bureaus across Connecticut and how data can help inform their work and ultimately help support more young people experiencing or at serious risk of experiencing disconnection. 🌎 It also focused on the importance of creating a more coordinated support ecosystem that builds and sustains connections with young people, their families, and their communities. 🤝 These are topics that Dalio Education, CTOP, and our grantee partners tackle daily, and we want to give a special thank you to CYSA for their work and for convening such an essential and impactful conference. 🙏 Thank you to Justin Carbonella, MPA for moderating and CYSA’s Kathryn Dube for inviting us.
