Healing about what it means to be a youth in Baltimore without job opportunities: “stressful,” “depressing,” “tiring,” “dangerous.”pic.twitter.com/TsCzo955F4
Why do some youth in Baltimore not seek or stop seeking employment: “embarrassment and fatigue from constant rejection,” “no one to take care of kids,” “can’t invest the time/ wait 2-3 weeks to get money when having immediate needs,”
How to encourage youth employment: “make the job meaningful,” “let people know the chances of getting the job, so they don’t get frustrated with rejection,” “feedback on rejections,” “stop false promises of employment,” “access to WiFi for online applications.”pic.twitter.com/NFqA2Baw6A
What issues are connected to lack of employment opportunities in Baltimore: “violence,” “crimes resulting from feeling forced to “hustle” to meet needs,” “mental health issues,” “lack of hope in and commitment to education.”
Today I also heard from Antonio, an amazing young man from Baltimore, who spoke about the need to open doors for the all the #OpportunityYouth across our country.pic.twitter.com/U3tz4xswmM
Hearing firsthand from the youth about work and school opportunities and challenges. Each roundtable has at least one employer, one job trainer, and one young adult. #OpportunityYouthpic.twitter.com/iQpj1lc0PI
