"The Youth [Employment] Program has helped me build critical skills that employers are looking for. I learned both soft and hard skills that helped me become an asset to local businesses and helped me build the confidence I needed to succeed. The placements it provided were meaningful, engaging and ultimately lead to a potential career!" ~ Elliott
