The mission of CYS is to bridge the gap between employers and young adults entering the workforce. We empower and connect millennials and underserved communities to advance workforce training and career exploration. According to the Sioux Falls Area Action Agenda, an extremely tight labor market is causing thousands of positions to remain unfilled, many of them in lower-skill, lower-paying occupations. Fewer employment opportunities at the higher end of the skills spectrum have left many workers in situations where they are “underemployed” for their current positions. Our future leaders will more closely align with the changing ethnic demographics of our community. Participants will navigate personal, professional, and career exploration desires and professional development. They will enhance their entrepreneurial skills such as: communication, marketing knowledge/strategies, developing and retaining quality employee traits, networking techniques and key professional skills that make them more competitive in the workforce and equip them with necessary skills to be an asset to any company. They will become more conscious of employment skills such as: professionalism, interview preparation, dress attire, teamwork, confidence, budgeting, and sales pitching to potential employers or partners. Retention of young and ethnic talent will improve the local job economy. Mentorship opportunities for companies, businesses, and professionals and being a guest speaker. Businesses and companies will be able to interact with YLA graduates and will have access to a pool of talented potential employees and future leaders in various community groups.
