Service and Conservation Corps Prepare Young People for Careers

For decades, ser­vice and con­ser­va­tion corps have con­nect­ed young peo­ple to qual­i­ty careers while help­ing vital indus­tries fill crit­i­cal work­force gaps. These pro­grams equip young peo­ple with hands-on train­ing and valu­able skills, cre­at­ing path­ways to well-pay­ing jobs. Two recent, data-based resources from the Brook­ings Insti­tu­tion and Jobs for the Future exam­ine the impor­tant role corps pro­grams can play in train­ing and con­nect­ing young peo­ple to life­long careers.

Fund­ed by the Annie E. Casey Foun­da­tion, the briefs dis­cuss impor­tant con­nec­tions between corps pro­grams and the labor mar­ket as well as rec­om­mend­ed strate­gies and best prac­tices for strength­en­ing this relationship.
