Read the film transcript

There are various opportunities for our youth, but not everyone has access to them. According to one study, there are 6.5 million unfilled jobs in the U.S. right now. Estimates suggest that by 2030, nearly 20% of the workforce will be significantly underskilled for their jobs. Introducing the Teen Expo, the bridge for all teens that connects them to opportunities through mentorship, personal and professional development, occupational training courses, and camps to help teens earn gainful employment in the competitive job marketplace. Unfortunately, our broken systems and inequitable policies maintain a divide between communities of color and the experiences required to thrive. At the Teen Expo, we strive to minimize this gap because we believe exposure yields opportunity. Join us at the Teen Expo, the place where teens and dreams meet.
