Denver’s Youth Employment Program in 2022 will still offer job training prior to setting teens up with various work opportunities across the area. “They’ll also get someone from the DPS team or our own team working to follow along all summer. If they have a problem with the employer, or the employer’s dissatisfied, we can step in. It’s not just a one and done and after the 10th of June you don’t hear from us again. It’s a case management model,” said Liehe.The program is focused on youth from lower-income families.
