CareerBound Launches Career Preparation Initiative for Young People in Baltimore

CareerBound, a significant new occupational skills training and career preparation initiative for young people in Baltimore, was recently launched. This initiative, which aims to help thousands of participants build skills and move into family-supporting careers over the next several years, was made possible by the collaborative effort of more than 150 community leaders from government, nonprofits, universities, corporations, philanthropy, and youth leaders. Their presence at the formal introduction on May 15 was a testament to the broad partnership supporting the initiative. CareerBound’s lead partners, Baltimore’s Promise, Baltimore City Public Schools, and the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED), are key contributors to this collective effort.
