Youth Talent Development Network

It's been our distinct pleasure to serve and collaborate the past few months on the Steering and Education Subcommittee for the Colorado Workforce Development Council, in preparing actionable recommendations to the State Youth Council of enhancing youth and employer connections throughout the state.

We are looking forward to our upcoming meeting in May with the entire State Youth Council in championing the creation of multiple pathways to economic and career success for Colorado’s youth!
