NAFI CT’s Youth Promise Career Pathways program provides adolescents with an immersive career-readiness journey designed to build both technical and soft skills as they prepare to enter the workforce. Carefully curated curriculum and program activities will help participants reflect upon their interests, leverage their talents, and challenge themselves to step outside of their comfort zone as they practice new skills.
Participants work collaboratively with their peers and connect with professional mentors and local employers while exploring some of the region’s most in-demand career fields. Through a partnership with Project Imo, participants have access to maker space materials and tools, high-tech workstations, inquiry-based career development curriculum, relevant field work experiences, and engaging 21st-century skills development through experiential and adventure-based learning.
