Youth Workforce Navigation

Build the Future Workforce

The future workforce are students in our schools today. Otter Tail County supports partnerships to build the future workforce, support career exploration, and address the workforce shortage challenges. By participating in youth workforce navigation, you can build career awareness and interest in your industry among students.

The Youth Workforce Navigation Program builds relationships between high school students, schools, and employers to open doors for student career exploration, which focuses on real-world applications and hands-on learning.

Employers can use these guides to conduct successful student tours and build a high school internship program.

The Youth Workforce Navigation Parent Guide was made to support families with high school age students enrolled in schools in Otter Tail County and its surrounding communities. The guide encourages families to learn about the career exploration resources available and have conversations about future careers for your student.
