A Year Up: Helping Young Adults Move from Poverty to Professional Careers in a Single Year Paperback - 2013
by Gerald Chertavian
In 2000, a successful technology entrepreneur and banker dedicated his expertise to founding Year Up, an intensive one-year program that provides otherwise stranded young adults with training, and ultimately real jobs. This is the inspiring story of a program that is bridging the Opportunity Divide.
Summary
“[Chertavian] demonstrates that with hard work and the right supports … young adults can overcome even the toughest of circumstances.” —Geoffrey Canada, president and CEO, Harlem Children’s Zone
There are many good jobs in America—and many urban young adults eager to take them—if they can bridge the Opportunity Divide that strands many motivated workers at the bottom of the job ladder.
In 2000, Gerald Chertavian, a successful technology entrepreneur and banker, dedicated his life and business expertise to founding Year Up, an intensive one-year program that provides otherwise stranded young adults with training, mentorship, internships, and ultimately real jobs. Following a single Year Up class from admission through graduation, A Year Up lets students share – in their own words- the challenges, failures, and personal successes they experience during the program. It is the inspiring story of a pioneering program that is bridging the Opportunity Divide, with results that can fuel our economy and revive the American ideal of equal opportunity for all.
