Youth brainstorm and implement projects that benefit their community (whether that be a class, school, neighborhood, or city) and have an opportunity to work towards a solution based on feedback from workforce and community partners. Workforce and other career experienced partners consult on projects to provide insight on local industry or government outreach and impacts that help inform youth action. This project design was created to facilitate the development of key employability skills such as:
- Adaptability
- Empathy
- Analysis
- Entrepreneurial Mindset
- Collaboration
- Resilience
- Communication
- Self-Awareness
- Digital Fluency
- Social Diversity
Woodburn, Sandy, and Lincoln County are some of the Oregon communities who participated with OregonASK Service to Career programs.
