Project Overview

Year Up received a developmental technical assistance award from Third Sector to explore the PFS feasibility of the Professional Training Corps (PTC) Model for workforce development. The PTC Model was an intensive one-year program for young adults, aged 18 to 24, who have a high school diploma or GED. PTC participants spent six months learning technical and professional skills in the classroom and then applied those skills during six-month internships at one of Year Up’s 250 employer partners. Year Up presented an opportunity for a provider to scale nationally through PFS.
