About the program: We do a 30 hour employment readiness training for 20 youth. We talk about identity, what work means to you, look at what you value, work on personal and career goals, do a resume, learn how to fill out an application, job search and prepare for interviews. We also have opportunities to meet employers at a networking event and connect with potential mentors.
After the program: Once you complete the program you can meet with Meg, our Employment Specialist and get one to one attention in job search, interview help and connection to employers. Meg can work with you until you are 22.
Expectations and some basics of the program:
• This program is not paid training. You come to the training on your own will. We want to help you if you are willing to learn!
• Job placement is not guaranteed. Meg works with you after 30 hours of training. Your success depends on you!
• You have to be present for all days of training and be prompt for the training hours. Lateness will not be tolerated.
