Intern & Earn Youth Workshops

A pivotal component of the Intern & Earn Program includes the one week onboarding workshop, which includes life skills, career development, and other job ready skills. Onboarding workshops may include:

• Career exploration and aptitude
• Educational interest
• Social norms and expectations as they relate to employment
• Financial literacy
• Public service

Note: Employment events that focus on emerging job opportunities are presented at specialized youth job fairs and recruitments.

Outreach

Eligible youth are recruited via:

• Designated mailers
• Text messaging
• Phone, email and social media
• Referrals

Information is also provided to youths’ parents/guardians. To maximize youth participation, workshops are scheduled during accessible hours after school and school breaks at the North, South and Central ECCs.

Workshop information and schedules are available at the Employment Connection website.
