This is the blog of the SCANS component of the YES Program. In 1990, the Secretary of Labor appointed a commission to determine the skills our young people need to succeed in the world of work. The commission's fundamental purpose was to encourage a high-performance economy characterized by high-skill, high-wage employment. The SCANS skills are the foundation of work-based training in the YES program.
