With the frightening statistic that 50% of all youth coming out of the foster care system wind up homeless, combined with record labor shortages across most employment sectors, it's time for businesses and communities to think of alternative answers, and perhaps more job training and internships are a solution.

Cody Clark from The Coffee Oasis will share the different programs he administers with youth in Kitsap County, with an emphasis on The Coffee Oasis' job training and internship programs.
