Early results, measured from day one
We are a new organization, and we're building measurement in from the start. Our first 10 interns have gained hands-on work experience with us. From our first training cohort onward, every participant takes a pre and post assessment, and we follow up at 30, 60 and 90 days.

|---|---|---|---|
| Work experience | Interns hosted and mentored | 10 | Set with first cohort |
| Enrollment | Participants who start the 40-hour training | First cohort | Set with first cohort |
| Completion | Finish all 40 hours and assessments | First cohort | Set with first cohort |
| Skill gains | Average pre/post assessment increase | First cohort | Set with first cohort |
| Employment | Employed or in school 90 days after completion | First cohort | Set with first cohort |
| Prevention | Youth reached by prevention education | Launching | Set with first cohort |
| Mentorship | Mentor matches lasting 6+ months | Launching | Set with first cohort |
| Entrepreneurship | Business plans completed | Launching | Set with first cohort |
