Corporate Voices believes that all young people deserve to grow up healthy and strong, equipped to excel in school today and in the jobs of tomorrow. American business competitiveness and future economic prosperity depends on a skilled and prepared workforce. Business leaders agree that many youth do not possess the skills needed to succeed at work. Activating the workforce pipeline is a fundamental and systemic imperative to drive business sustainability, ensure global competitiveness and to uplift the standard of living for working families.
