Youth and workforce programs, run through the final report
Summer employment, internships, camps, and career readiness programs that participants value and funders can audit.
Youth programs succeed or fail on logistics: recruitment, onboarding, host sites, payroll, attendance, and reporting. We design the program, manage every moving part, and deliver the data your funder will ask for.
WHAT WE DO
Program design. Goals, eligibility, calendar, budget, and the measures you will report, set before launch.
Program management, recruitment through closeout. One plan, one communication rhythm, and weekly checks against targets.
Curriculum and work readiness. Hands-on sessions built around projects and team challenges, not lectures.
Host site and partner coordination. Site agreements, placements, and support for supervisors.
Reporting and closeout. Enrollment, attendance, completion, and satisfaction data in the format your funder needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What workforce and youth programs does Altus run?
Summer youth employment, paid internships, career exploration camps, and career readiness programs in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Altus runs the whole cycle: design, recruitment, host site coordination, curriculum, weekly progress checks, and closeout reporting in the format the funder requires.
Can Altus run a summer youth internship program for our organization?
Yes. In 2026, Altus ran two paid summer internship programs for a DC health plan, serving District youth ages 15 to 24. In a six-week window, Altus handled recruitment, payroll, host site placements, Saturday professional development, and the final report.
What is an Altus College and Career Camp?
Career exploration students do, not just hear about. In fall 2025, Altus delivered a six-week, twelve-session camp for a county workforce development board at a public middle school, with visits to a corporate skills center and a university campus. Sessions run on projects and team challenges, not lectures.
What happens before a youth program launches?
The decisions that prevent summer emergencies. Altus sets goals, eligibility rules, the calendar, the budget, and reporting measures before launch, and confirms host site agreements, placements, and supervisor expectations in advance. Funders and partners start with one plan and one communication schedule.
How does Altus support host sites and employer partners?
Altus manages site agreements, placements, and supervisor support. Supervisors know what is expected and who to call when something comes up, which keeps placements steady through the final week.
What reporting do funders receive?
Enrollment, attendance, completion, and satisfaction data in the format each funder requires. Altus checks progress against targets every week, so problems get fixed while the program is still running, and a closeout report documents final results.
Is Altus a job placement or staffing agency?
No. Altus designs and operates programs for agencies, funders, and employers. Placements happen inside the program the client funds. Altus does not recruit candidates for open jobs.
Does Altus offer free career resources?
Yes. Job seekers and program participants can use free career tools at altuswfs.com/career-resources.
