Sarah Kim at hoodline Los Angeles reports The Golden State has earmarked a handsome sum for an initiative that champions an alternate route to success for its younger demographic. The office of Governor Gavin Newsom has authorized the disbursement of $15.4 million across 29 programs dedicated to Youth Apprenticeship Opportunities. This financial injection aims to bridge the gap for 16-to-24-year-olds seeking to bypass the conventional four-year academic route. Seen as an investment in the workforce's future, the California Opportunity Youth Apprenticeship (COYA) Grants are targeting what are dubbed "opportunity youth." This group includes young parents, former foster youth, and those with disabilities among others, oft sidelined from mainstream education and employment prospects. Touted as hands-on pathways to high-wage and high-growth jobs, Governor Newsom sees Apprenticeship as "building real, on-the-ground solutions" to the employment divide.
