Youth Job and Work Readiness Grant (JWR) is sponsored by Oregon Youth Development Division (YDD). The Job and Work Readiness Grant addresses historic inequity and disparities in educational and work readiness resources and outcomes, through the provision of quality youth development programming.
This includes access to high school completion, Essential Employability Skills training, support during post-secondary transitions into training, internships, Apprenticeships, Industry-Recognized Credentials, and/or Paid Work Experiences. The goal is for youth participants to become increasingly capable of obtaining a job and having subsequent and more advanced training or education.
