What it is...
To address the lack of preparedness of 14-24 year olds to meet the present needs of area employers, the Mayor of Hartford, Eddie Perez, convened a group of leaders to develop the Future Workforce Investment System. |
System partners
The Future Workforce Investment System is a partnership that includes the City of Hartford through the Mayor's Office,
Office of Youth Services, Hartford Public Schools,
Capital Workforce Partners, youth providers and employers. |
|
System objective
To combine best practices and lessons learned to develop a city-wide, comprehensive and
coordinated system of services for youth built around ten success-driven strategies. Services within the system include case
management, educational support, skills
building and "Work & Learn" opportunities. |
System goals
Increase the number and percentage of:
- high school completions
- college attendance and completion
- youth who engage in long-term career-focused training
- youth who acquire living wage jobs
|
|
Program model
All programs aligned with the Future Workforce Investment System are based on one basic
model where youth are supported through case management or service coordination, linked
to programs and services, guided by a caring adult and wherever possible, connected to
meaningful and relevant work experiences, with outcomes tracked through a web-based
program management system called Hartford Connects. |
