The Work, Learn, & Grow Employment Program (WLG) is an initiative funded by the New York City Council and run by BronxWorks, designed for students aged 16-21 who are currently enrolled in the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP). The main objective of the WLG is to build upon the experiences gained in the SYEP, providing participants with career readiness training and paid employment opportunities. The program extends for up to twenty-five weeks, beginning in October and ending in March. Participants are assigned to work at different sites, including BronxWorks programs, and local businesses and organizations. This gives them the chance to gain practical work experience in a variety of fields. The program also includes career readiness training, which equips students with essential skills for the professional world. However, specific details about the curriculum, instructor information, and the exact delivery method of the program (online, in-person, or hybrid) are not provided. To be eligible for the WLG, participants must be aged 16-21 and currently in school. They should also be enrolled participants of the SYEP. The main outcome of the program is the provision of career readiness training and paid employment opportunities, thereby preparing participants for future careers. However, specific certifications or additional skills gained are not mentioned. The program not only offers students real-world work experience but also provides them with an opportunity to earn while learning, thereby making it a valuable learning opportunity.
