Program areas at We Evanston
This year, WE Evanston served 15 youth participants, as well as 70 program alumni. Participants received career readiness training through soft-skills workshops and one on one support. We helped youth explore careers in vocational, trades and technical fields, particularly those that do not require a 4 year degree. We matched students with a mentor in their field of interest and set them up with an hands-on internship experience. In partnership with the City of Evanston, we also developed in a 16 week cybersecurity training program to launch in early 2024. We continued our direct support of our young adults as they navigated their career paths. This included career-related tours, resume and interview work, career exploration, networking and further hands-on internship experiences that help them hone their interests and connect to the training and networking they need to succeed.
