The City of Hartford’s HOYC Youth Training & Employment Group Survey
The City of Hartford’s HOYC Youth Training & Employment Group has developed a Navigation Tool designed to promote access and engagement for disconnected youth in the Greater Hartford region.
We ask Youth to complete a brief survey relating to educational needs, career interests, and desired services. The Tool will then direct youth to a list of programs and services provided by HOYC partners that is tailored to the youth’s individual survey responses.
Each listed program/service will have a contact link that is directly connected to a point person at the partner organization who is responsible for rapidly reaching out to the youth in response to a referral from the Tool. Once a connection is established between the youth and the service provider, youth will either be enrolled into programming or referred to other services with a ‘warm’ handoff from the initial point of contact to other staff persons.
The link for the HOYC survey is below. Thank you for your participation!
