High teen interest so far (70 teens) 16 teens have interviewed and would be under JYC. They have a YouTube channel with 18 videos. ie: Quick tips on follow up calls and career exploration. Teens have interviewed employees at various locations they are interested in working at. Started tracking milestones. Teen is three times more likely to get an interview if they go through the YES program. About 26 teens are from JYC. Trying to find locations in Caroline.
