One Iowa high schooler is helping
lead the charge on issues surrounding youth employment in the
state. Ottumwa sophomore Oliver Hernandez Norris is joined by
Krista Tedrow from Iowa's South Central Workforce Development Board
to tell us about how they secured a meeting with the Federal
Department of Labor in Washington D.C. to discuss youth employment.
Find out what Oliver says are some of the main concerns
employers should be looking at when it comes to hiring youth, and
how a first-of-its-kind survey conducted by Iowa State University
will help shape youth workforce solutions.
