Employment Advising

Programs and services for youth are constantly changing - it is best to come in and talk to the Youth Coach about what is currently available and if you’re eligible to apply.

It’s a big world out there. Are you trying to decide what you want to do? Or maybe you know where you’re headed but you don’t know how to get there. Come in and find out how we can help you with career exploration, job search tips, and training information. We’ll also tell you about upcoming programs especially for youth.

Talk to the Youth Coach for information on:

• Finding a job, self-employment and school planning
• Information on employment programs and services for youth, including wage subsidies, training programs and job search events and activities
• Assessment of career interests, aptitudes and abilities
• Techniques to make your job hunt successful, including preparing your resume and brushing up on interview skills
• Information on other community services to help you get where you want to go
