The South Bend Common Council recognizes that in the publication Youth Unemployment Challenge <br />and Solutions — What Business Can Do Now, the following factors were identified as to "Why Youth Fare Worse Than <br />Adults" in the initial workforce entry: <br />• "A lack of information, networks and connections among youth, especially youth from families lacking <br />significant social capital. <br />• A lack of skills relevant to the workplace. <br />• A lack of experience and credentials that address employers' risk in making hiring commitments. <br />• A lack of available jobs suited to entry-level skills ", Manpower Group, Youth Unemployment Challenge and <br />Solutions, pp. 6 -7. <br />Section II.

What <br />our young people do today will create the foundations for what our economies will do tomorrow ", Youth <br />Employment: A Global Goal, a National Challenge, ILO 2011; and <br />"Companies need to `lean forward, 'take a calculated risk, and open their doors to inexperienced young <br />job candidates... they need to engage their best employees as mentors to young talent ", Manpower Group, <br />Youth Unemployment Challenge and Solutions, pp. 27. <br />Section III. The South Bend Common Council hereby authorizes and recommends that in collaboration with the <br />City Administration that a Tall Grass/Weed Abatement Pilot Program focusing on providing youth with working <br />opportunities and life skills training and development be implemented by the City of South Bend for the Summer of 2015, <br />consistent with the guidelines set forth in the Resolution. <br />Section IV.
