Made in Durham: Stories of Shared Work and Real Impact
- - -
Research shows that the prospect of a good job and a meaningful career is a powerful motivator for young people to stay in school and complete post-secondary education and training. Made in Durham plays a critical role in regional efforts to increase economic mobility for youth. Our partnerships include educators, business, government, community organizations, and young people. Our social enterprise is built to adapt to shifting economic, educational, and civic dynamics and to unite key institutions around a shared, youth-focused strategy. Each day, we work with partners to better align learning and work by strengthening existing initiatives and forming new ones when needed. By improving Durham’s education-to-career system, we can prepare more young people for career and life success while building a pipeline of talent that helps regional companies compete and grow.
