Story Behind the Curve
For FY22, No youth were placed in the Youth Employment Initiative program in FY22. The Garrett County Local Management Board made the decision not to fund the program in FY23.
For HFY1 22, The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for the YEI program. Outreach will continue to area business and the two local high schools in hopes of recruiting two disconnected youth for the program.
For HFY1 20, this data is collected annually and is not available until the end of the Youth Employment Initiative program in June.
For FY19, all four youth involved completed the program and reported that they gained valuable work experience as a result of being in the program. One youth demonstrated exceptional performance on the job and was offered a permanent full-time position.
This performance measure was added and modified for the fiscal year 2019, in an attempt to indicate a positive direction for the 16 to 24-year-old group receiving Summer Youth Employment Supplement programming.
The fiscal Year 2019, S-YES program will track all youth served and the annual data will reflect those youth funded directly through Local Management Board. The expectation is for the participants to obtain full-time employment and/or become involved in additional education or work experience programming.
