Dear colleagues:

Title: Supporting Youth and Young Adults Experiencing Homelessness through Education and Workforce Partnerships
Date and Time: Friday, September 13, 2019 | 2-3 pm ET / 1-2 pm CT / 12-1 pm MT / 11 am - 12 pm PT
Registration Link: https://uncg.webex.com/uncg/onstage/g.php?MTID=ec6b5e606e31e759078a38659090e968a

Without the education and training needed to secure living-wage employment, young people experiencing homelessness will struggle to make a sustainable exit from homelessness. In this webinar, attendees will learn about:

  • the connection between education, employment, and housing affordability outcomes, including as addressed in Home, Together: The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness;
  • federal education and employment programs that serve youth experiencing homelessness (McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth, Perkins Career and Technical Education, Adult Education, WIOA Youth Formula, YouthBuild, and Job Corps);
  • policy and practice levers to encourage more targeted local efforts to ensure education and employment program access and success for young people experiencing homelessness;
  • two local programs (Los Angeles and Washington, DC) that serve youth experiencing homelessness through intentional education and employment partnerships.

Time will be provided for Q&A.

  • Faatimah Muhammad, U.S. Department of Education
