The Youth Employment System Re-engagement Centers (RECs) are dedicated facilities designed to support young individuals who have disengaged from traditional education and employment pathways. These centers provide resources and guidance to help youth re-enter the workforce or continue their education. RECs typically offer career counseling, job training programs, educational support services, and mentorship opportunities. By addressing individual needs and removing barriers to success, the centers aim to empower participants to achieve sustainable employment and educational outcomes, fostering personal growth and community involvement.

EmployIndy is the Workforce Development Board for the greater Indianapolis Region. Our mission is to connect employer demand for talent with job seekers looking for employment. The Re-Engagement Center is EmployIndy’s place based recruitment strategy to engage young adults ages 16-24, also called Opportunity Youth (OY), in an effort to enroll in the Youth Employment System (YES) Indy.
