2021 Youth Practitioner's Learning Lab Call for Presentations

Virtual Conference Date: March 30, 2021

NYATEP’s 2021 Youth Practitioner's Learning Lab, will be held virtually on March 30th. This annual event will convene the best and the brightest from across the Northeast to tackle the issues facing young adults as they prepare for and enter jobs.

Our goal is to provide our audience with workshops that help support youth in both a virtual and an in person climate. We are seeking innovative programming that has remained successful despite the challenges of COVID.

Workshop slots are extremely limited. We are requesting presentations on the following topics: Youth Engagement, Youth Work Experience, Summer Youth Employment and Employer Partnerships (specifically, employers or employer programs that go above and beyond to assist youth with high barriers)..

Note: Workshop proposals MUST include a title, brief description and bio of lead presenter in order to be considered. Please also indicate if you plan on including additional presenters. NYATEP reserves the right to modify the descriptions that will be printed in conference materials.
We require that all submissions include an interactive element to the presentation to engage participants in each session. This may include, but is not limited to -- opportunities to share between colleagues in small group work or with discussion questions (breakout session); facilitated activities to help attendees understand the content; and or a presentation that solicits audience participation. We look forward to your proposals!
