The goal of this project is to identify a work plan for creating a database and online platform for youth job opportunities in Worcester. To combat youth unemployment, the Worcester Community Action Council manages programs to educate youth and give them valuable work experiences. A subdivision of the WCAC, the Job and Education Center, works with the Worcester Task Force in order to provide working opportunities for the youth. With multiple programs and organizations involved, there is a gap in data collection and sharing. A work plan was developed through database research, interviews with stakeholders inside the Task Force, and database developers. This work plan will serve as a resource for the WCAC to move forward with development for their program needs.
