The uptick in violence in Rochester has community leaders brainstorming ways to help young people stay safe. Some of their ideas include job training initiatives.
RochesterWorks! is launching a multi-million-dollar program aimed at providing job training and job opportunities for several hundred young people. That program is one of several that we discuss this hour with our guests:
- Dave Seeley, executive director of RochesterWorks!
- Jonathan Compton, divisional director of workforce development at the Urban League
- Sara Hughes, "relationship artist," who helps connect young people to join training opportunities
- Larrice Richardson, 2020 RCSD graduate enrolled in the Automotive Technology program at MCC
- Tyriek Hagan, aka "Wingz," lyricist and entrepreneur
