Year Up Charlotte - Spotlight on Local Workforce Innovations

Continuing to expand its proven program to create pathways to meaningful employment for low-income youth, the national nonprofit Year Up launched a new site in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2019, with generous support from Bank of America, The John M. Belk Endowment, and The Duke Endowment in partnership with Central Piedmont Community College and Leading on Opportunity, a nonprofit focused on improving economic mobility in Charlotte.

Brought to you by the NCWorks Commission, the Spotlight on Local Workforce Innovations series showcases local innovations in collaborative, employer-led workforce development partnerships across our state. The series will highlight promising practices that can be replicated across North Carolina.
