      Karen Jolicoeur, Executive Director of Creative Art Works, testifies about the importance of creative workforce development programs for New York City youth. She highlights CAW's public art youth employment programs, which provide apprenticeships in visual and multimedia arts, developing both hard and soft skills valuable for future careers.

      • CAW offers nearly 300 teens and young adults apprenticeships annually in large-scale public art and multimedia projects.
      • Programs develop art and design skills, as well as collaboration, communication, and leadership skills sought by employers.
      • The initiative creates a pipeline for youth to access creative careers, with some participants becoming full-time staff or teaching artist assistants.
