Denver Economic Development & Opportunity

🤝 Denver Economic Development & Opportunity (DEDO) and Denver Public Schools (DPS) are continuing support of students through the Denver Youth Employment Program (DYEP), a program that connects students with workforce development, career exploration, and opportunities to pursue their passions and goals through real-world work experiences with local organizations, businesses, and growing industries.

🏢 The program offers pre-employment training sessions and paid work experiences, ensuring students are connected to meaningful work-based learning, expanded professional networks and financial literacy courses.

🗣️“Investing in youth employment opportunities is one of the strongest ways to invest our local economy and build our future workforce,” said Tony Anderson, Chief Workforce Development Officer, Denver Economic Development and Opportunity. “This partnership is helping build a pipeline for students to learn skills, real-world experience, networking, financial literacy and so much more that you can’t get just inside the classroom.”
