🎉 The curtain falls on an exceptional Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) hosted by CMP. In partnership with the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), we proudly supported 721 ambitious individuals aged 16-24 on their journey to career exploration and paid work experience. Our partnership extended to 167 dedicated worksite employers who played a crucial role in shaping this success story.
The success of this program was evident in the positive feedback received from both participants and worksite supervisors. Notably, the supervisor of the NYCHA Law Department told us that the candidates we sent excelled at the duties assigned. Participants at Melanin Serendip & Co. we interviewed all gave us positive feedback about the work they've been doing, saying they enjoy the work, and are glad these tasks have helped their professional growth and career development 💪
🤝 This success story was not unique, as many worksites expressed their keen interest in expanding our partnership to other internship programs, next year's SYEP, and our career development initiatives.
