Things to think about?
2015 One Summer Chicago Fun Facts:
• 24.7K opportunities last year
• Over 66K youth applied
• Over 41,000 kids unable to participate

• Minority students participating in Work Based Learning (WBL) programs
entered college at twice the rate of minority students who did not
participate in WBL programs
• Students enrolled in a WBL program are given an opportunity to explore
the pathways to pursue various careers and industries
• Through internships, job shadows and mock interviews, students develop
their work ethic and gain essential technical and soft skills
• When students are able to understand the connection between their
curriculum and "the real world," students are more motivated to stay in
school and work to meet their career goals
• WBL instills the confidence, skills and ambition needed for students to
succeed in their industries after high school
The Facts: Chicago and United States

• Unemployment rates among young adults in urban cities across
America continues to remain catastrophic
• Violence among adults in urban communities are increasing across all
major cities in America
• Small companies continue to be overcome by larger corporations
leaving neighborhoods with no real presence
• Public schools lack the infrastructure to support career advancement
for young professionals before college
• Entrepreneurship and business development skills are primary classes
in public schools to reinforce critical thinking, career advancement and
professional work experience
The Issues: Chicago and United States
