Inside Business: Summer Youth Initiative Seeks More Business Participation

Summer Youth Initiative Seeks More Business Participation

The Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce is working to build on the success of its youth employment programs - namely the Summer Youth Initiative (SYI) - by adding more for-profit businesses into the mix of job opportunities.

The benefits for the area businesses include:

Increasing employers' ability to train and retain its future workforce
Closing the talent gap by connecting job seekers with permanent open positions
Helping to boost the local economy by providing economic benefit to local families

And there's a fourth potential benefit from the perspective of site selectors. Increased participation by the for-profit sector may, over time, help draw more business investment to Flint & Genesee as companies scout areas for possible expansion.
