The work
iyai+'s unique cross-sectorial approach is by design
Today’s profoundly changing, and increasingly interdependent world requires rethinking the “career-readiness” education, skills, experiences, and exposures necessary for competitiveness and sustainability in the 21st century.
Working collaboratively, we expose YOUTH to a broad range of infrastructure careers and help them to see the impact(s) on people, community, and society -- community-building”. There are 16 critical national infrastructure sectors. Our programming starts with the “lifeline” sectors – transportation, water, energy, communications… critical manufacturing…
Our perspective that is “equity-centered” and “results-focused”. And, our WORK is anchored by core values – equity and inclusion; resilience and sustainability; smart, safe and secure infrastructure outcomes and benefits for all of our nation’s people and communities.
We also hold a deep commitment to the value and importance of meaningful civic engagement, including YOUTH VOICE and PARTICIPATION in community decision-making – which we lift up as lifetime work and “success” skills.
