Success (P2S)

Pathways 2 Success (P2S) is a youth-focused workforce development program designed by ETSS to empower low-income youth in Central Ohio. Through two targeted programs: Summer Youth Employment Program and Achieve More & Prosper, P2S equips young people with the tools, experiences, and support needed to thrive in school, work, and life.
