Continued Success
Based on the overwhelming success of the initial two-year cycle, Legacy Alcoa Foundation launched a new cycle of workforce development opportunities in October 2015, building upon existing relationships from the first cycle of the initiative with five non-profit partner organizations to provide opportunities for 200 unemployed youth (ages 18-24) in Australia, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States.Sponsors
