News @ The Works: Where industry specific jobs are, YBC Relaunch, & more!

Where industry specific jobs are concentrated in the Charlotte area

Charlotte is well known for several industries including finance, manufacturing, and transportation. Have you ever wondered where these types of jobs in these fields are typically found in the Charlotte area?

As a part of Charlotte Works’ Careers4All initiative, we are focusing on the zip codes with the highest unemployment rates in Mecklenburg County. For a deeper understanding of what types of jobs are available in these areas, we created an interactive map that shows where jobs in each of our target industries are concentrated.

Online tool connects youth to employers and career exploration

Charlotte Works hosted a relaunch reception for the Youth Business Connector (YBC) on June 4 at the Google Fiber Space. The website is a dynamic online tool that helps students find real-world career experiences with local employers.

The event held a panel that featured local employers like WB Moore, Road to Hire, and Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools.

Through the YBC’s work-based learning (WBL) opportunities, the Charlotte region’s youth gain valuable career awareness and exposure, and local employers develop the interest and skills of their future workforce. The YBC is a collaboration among employers, schools, and community organizations who are working together to build career education partnerships in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area.
