Policy & Advocacy: Youth Employment Readiness Survey
The goal of the survey is to assess youth employment and workforce readiness so that the Monroe County Youth Council can use it to collect data anonymously. Our survey aims to determine whether students experience burnout as a result of managing both schoolwork and employment, thereby assessing the correlation between these activities and mental health.
