Educated Work Force

Employers recognize and understand the various skills, attitudes and knowledge future employees need. Social and emotional skills are skills employers look for in a strong candidate/employee. Afterschool programs have a role to play in supporting the development of these skills for all youth. American Institute on Research recently published How Afterschool Programs Can Support Employability Through Social Emotional Learning. For those business already volunteering within an afterschool program, consider using this tool to guide conversations.

Out of school time programs have a tangible impact on the workforce by assisting in the preparation of students for future employment and achieving the profile of a SC Graduate.

Businesses and out of school time programs often have a mutually beneficial relationship. Programs have a great need for volunteers, grants, and sponsors while businesses need a better prepared work force. It’s a win win!
