Provide a mechanism through which eligible youth can earn money, gain meaningful work experience, participate in skills training workshops, and be exposed to various careers.
Enhance basic academic, occupational, and other skills necessary for youth to obtain and maintain long-term employment.
Help youth make a smooth transition from school to career and/or higher education.
