Scientific Glassblowing Program Addresses Urban Youth Unemployment

摘要

In a unique program, Newark, NJ-based GlassRoots is training disconnected and under-served young adults for entry-level jobs in scientific glass. Their approach aims to rethink career training for youth by catalyzing the integration of an employer-focus and relationship-building with industry and higher education partners as well as with ASGS members, while transforming the lives of their participants.
