Description
JobsFirstNYC was created as a neutral intermediary to address the workforce needs of out-of-school, out-of-work young adults in New York City. Its mission is to develop and advance new solutions that transform systems supporting young adults and communities in the pursuit of economic mobility. Many systems designed to support young adults are fragmented, antiquated, and ill-equipped to answer this urgent call for change and lack a cohesive strategy. With Corporation support, JobsFirstNYC focused on a collaborative systems approach to prepare rising generations for the post-pandemic economy. This enabled them to develop and advance effective outcomes across all four of its solution areas (Community, Education, Work, and Policy). The creation of the “Systems Change to Prepare Young Adults for The Future” framework and its successful implementation increased the number of young people in educational and economic opportunities, and policy and system change improved outcomes. Further investment will allow for continued support of targeted systems change work improving education, policy, and employment for young people and advance already achieved successes.

Description
JobsFirstNYC (JobsFirst) was created in 2006 as a neutral intermediary to address the workforce needs of out-of-school, out-of-work young adults in New York City. Their mission is to develop and advance new solutions that transform systems supporting young adults and their communities in the pursuit of economic mobility. Most recently, with Corporation support, JobsFirstNYC has been deeply focused on a collaborative systems approach to prepare rising generations for the post-pandemic economy. Despite some bright spots, the systems designed to support young adults are fragmented, antiquated, and ill-equipped to answer this urgent call for change and lack a cohesive strategy. Previous support from the Corporation led to the development of a collaborative framework. JobsFirst will utilize grant funds to expand and implement a related policy agenda that promotes effective economic mobility solutions for young adults in NYC. The framework will be utilized to expand engagement field-wide and advance collaborative systems change around standardizing career readiness across NYC schools.
