Connecting Underrepresented Youths with Employment Opportunities
Organization: University of Kansas
Primary Investigator: Alexandra Kondyli
Research Track: Resource and Service Equity
Out-of-school-time (OST) opportunities support youth in developing workforce readiness and cultivating occupational identities; however, underrepresented youth face inequitable access to these opportunities. Community stakeholders and University of Kansas researchers will develop and implement an integrated mobile application and tools that help the youth discover, access, and participate in OST opportunities, create shared-mobility identities, and cultivate environmental-friendly travel behaviors.
