Today’s businesses are increasingly hiring opportunity youth — and for good reason. These young workers bring talent, resilience, and fresh perspectives to the workforce, but many also face barriers that can hinder their long-term success at a company.
Mentorship is a proven solution to alleviate these challenges — and one that businesses are uniquely positioned to deliver.
When youth are paired with mentors, outcomes improve across the board. Studies show that mentored youth earn more over time, experience greater social mobility, and — critically for employers — build the skills that help them perform better at work.
In “Mentorship Matters: Developing Tomorrow’s Workforce Today,” we’ll explore how businesses can tap into mentorship networks and resources to help their young employees thrive. Join us to learn why investing in mentorship not only improves young employees’ performance and retention today, but also builds a more prepared, loyal workforce for the future.
