| Desc | PROPEL BRINGS TOGETHER HIGH SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY COLLEGES, AND EMPLOYERS IN A UNIFIED SYSTEM OF SKILL-BUILDING, JOB PLACEMENT, AND ONGOING PLANNING FOR YOUNG ADULTS. THE MODEL INCLUDES A "CORE COURSE" IN OR DIRECTLY AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, IN WHICH STUDENTS DETERMINE THEIR JOB PATHWAY AND BEGIN TO PREPARE FOR IT. PROPEL THEN COVERS THE COST OF JOB TRAINING, PAYS A MODEST STIPEND, PROVIDES MENTORSHIP AND SUPPORT, AND GUARANTEES A JOB INTERVIEW FOR ANY "PROPEL FELLOW" WHO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES THEIR TRAINING. THIS PROCESS EMPOWERS RECENT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES WITH THE SKILLS, CREDENTIALS, EXPERIENCES, AND SOCIAL NETWORKS TO ATTAIN A WELL-PAYING JOB WITHIN ONE YEAR, WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT AND HIGHER EDUCATION. | Desc |
