Description

Join us for cocktails and heavy hors d'oeuvres in celebration of the launch of an innovative initiative supporting workforce development. Fathers In Tech The Capital Youth Empowerment Program (CYEP) Fathers in Tech Launch Event is the official celebration of NextFlex and CYEP receiving HHS Fatherhood FIRE grant for fiscal year 2021 through 2026. CYEP partnered with NextFlex, a DOD Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Institute, to secure approximately five million dollars in resources over the next five years for the National Capital Region to support fatherhood and workforce development programming. The program is a combination of workshops to strengthen the family unit and support financial stability, and individualized career coaching, as well as workforce development programs. CYEP has partnered with the Eastern Mid-Atlantic Carpenter’s Union to create a construction pre-apprentice program and Melwood to support computer certification trainings. These amazing partnerships eventually unite the fathers that graduate the FIT program to industry and opportunities to earn a livable wage. Due to changing market and industry demands, CYEP is transitioning from solely supporting relationships and social skills development to a more comprehensive value proposition that provides fathers with empowerment support, technical skills training and leadership development to garner the resources and confidence needed to lead their families and inspire the youth.
