Did you know – that a core mission of the Regional Office of Education #24 is to support the next generation of our local workforce? 🎓💼

While many know us for educator support, we are also the proud home of the Kendall Youth Employment Program (KYEP). We work directly with young people up to age 24 to provide the tools, resources, and subsidized training needed to build a successful career path.

Our program helps youth identify their interests and skills to create a customized career plan. For those ready to take the next step, we help identify and fund training programs approved by the Department of Labor, ranging from short-term certifications to Associate Degrees.

If you’re a young person looking for work and training, or a local business looking to hire motivated talent, we are here to help!
