In this assignment you are tasked with writing a letter to the editor to the local newspaper. Letters to the editor (LTEs) are a great way to share ideas and mobilize people within a community. LTEs can be used to offer a unique perspective to issues facing the community. In this assignment, I am interested in how you can apply CED thinking to a current local problem or issue. You are best to focus on just one issue and demonstrate how CED can inform a response. Be specific; state your CED perspective and detail the response it informs. You may wish to draw from examples from other communities.
a) Identify a local issue currently being discussed in the community and/or is important to you. Research the topic thoroughly. Read what has already been written on the topic (especially in the local newspaper).
b) Identify a particular CED lens or set of principles to apply to the topic. See the CED toolbox features as a guide.
c) Write a LTE on the issue.
d) Use hyperlinks in your document to refer to or cite specific source information (newspaper articles, CED resources, academic literature, official documents, etc.).

As you published in one of your recent articles, college graduates are feeling concerned about their employment prospects as it is becoming more and more challenging to find a good job. Despite the recent effects of a pandemic, the continued unemployment among graduates indicates there is an underlying issue in the country’s job market, one of them being a mismatch between the skills of young graduates and what the labor market needs. Yes, more youths are graduating, but the skills they have do not particularly meet the needs of employers. In an article published by Aljazeera, it was also revealed that there is a mismatch between the skills and the jobs in the market.
           Addressing this issue is crucial because employment plays a significant role in developing the economy. Employment opportunities for young people increase overall productivity in the ...
