Next Level – Youth Workforce Development

WHAT IS NEXT LEVEL?

Next Level, formerly Connect 2 Success, is a youth workforce development program. We equip youth, ages 18-24, who live or learn in the greater South Bay communities of San Diego County with the necessary training, certification, and skills needed to take their career to the next level.

We work with our participants to set specific goals aimed at completing their individualized program within a one-year timeline and attaining a full-time job that pays a living wage of $16/hour or more, plus benefits.

The following are examples of some of the possible career pathways that participants may pursue while enrolled in Next Level:
