The 2015 State of the Youth report is available now!

Read the report online.

We believe that those who build connections to the workforce as young adults are more likely to:

  • Complete high school and seek continued education
  • Identify career paths
  • Find and maintain employment as adults

The report examines the demographics of Lake County youth and some common barriers to employment.  It also identifies some of the programs and services available to help youth bridge the gap to their careers.

Want more information?  Join us for a presentation on the 2015 State of the Youth Report on Wednesday, November 4th at 2:00pm at the Lake County Central Permit Facility (500 W. Winchester Road, 2nd Floor, Libertyville).  To register for this event, please email bwilliams@lakecountyil.gov.
