The Prince George’s County Workforce Development Board (WDB) is seeking to contract with Youth Service Provider(s) that have experience in implementing subsidized summer youth employment programs, internships, work-based learning programs, or pre-apprenticeship programs for youth, ages 16 - 24. Since the COVID-19 pandemic led to a sharp economic downturn in March of 2020, young people ages 16 - 24 have experienced higher rates of unemployment. In 2021, the annual youth unemployment rate in the Washington, DC Metro Area was 10.6%. These disconnected youth and young adults are twice as likely to live in poverty, three times as likely to not have a high school diploma, or its equivalent, and three times as likely to have a disability.
