Description
Year Up United (YUU) is a national non-profit organization that provides young adults from underserved communities with the skills and support they need to succeed in their careers and higher education. Since its founding in 2000, YUU has served over 43,000 young adults helping them find internships and jobs in high-demand sectors. YUU’s traditional tuition-free program takes one year or less to complete. It includes a classroom phase, an internship phase, and a job search phase. YUU offers training in a variety of sectors, including IT, software development, business operations, banking, and customer success. The proposal will support Year Up United’s National Career Pathways Program (NCPP) which is designed to increase YUU’s capacity by training students across multiple geographies simultaneously through hybrid delivery. The NCPP is focused on three areas: Banking and Customer Success, Application Development, and Information Technology.
