Are we failing our students when it comes to career preparedness? A recent study by the Walton Family Foundation and Gallup reveals that students in grades 5-12 are giving some of the lowest marks in this crucial area. At Youth Solutions, we’re committed to changing this by providing Michigan’s youth with the support and experiences that prepare them for their futures. Our goal is to ensure every youth in Michigan has access to career-focused education - igniting their curiosity, guiding them through diverse career options, and helping them navigate their path, whether it leads to college, credential attainment, the military, an apprenticeship, or entering the workforce after graduation. Connect with us to discover how our targeted services can empower schools to prioritize career development.
