# Year Up

**Year Up** is a US nonprofit that helps disadvantaged youths through training and work-based learning.

It is highlighted for its **rigorous use of statistical techniques to study the impact of its training** — a model answer to [[question-rigorous-measurement]]. Since **2011 it has placed over 40,000 young people** in corporate roles and internships, with an **80% placement rate at more than 250 participating companies**. It exemplifies the ecosystem partnerships urged in [[action-partner-with-ecosystem]] and paradigm five of [[framework-five-paradigms]] ("Reskilling Takes a Village"). The source also references **OneTen**, a coalition focused on hiring, promoting, and upskilling Black talent without four-year degrees.
