The Task

The Mayor’s Fund wanted to develop a case study that would illustrate the Center for Youth Employment’s impact since its founding in 2015 while also identifying lessons learned and opportunities for the future direction of the Center’s work.

Our Strategy

• Facilitated focus groups and interviews with workforce development leaders to better understand CYE’s role in the public workforce system and its impact
• Surveyed partner employers and service providers to elicit their perspective on working with CYE

Project Impact & Outcome

• In June 2018, we published a case study that highlights CYE’s achievements and outlines a vision for the future, positioning CYE to tell its story to funders and other cities considering replication alike.
