Value proposition

Engaged, Empowered, Employed.

We serve job-seekers and businesses, providing resources to develop a skilled workforce that meets employer needs.

Job-seekers can
• build a resume and interview skills,
• create a career mission statement,
• join a job-search team,
• network with employers and peers,
• attend workshops; and/or
• receive an occupational skills or on-the-job training grant.

By focusing on gaining a deep understanding of the talent needs of local, relocating and expanding businesses, we tailor resources and training dollars to meet specific industry needs through
• customized recruiting tools;
• assessment of hiring needs;
• training grants for skilled/new/incumbent workers;
• workshops; and
• valuable local labor market data and forecasts.

Graduating with a high school diploma is no longer enough for students entering a more competitive marketplace; additional training is imperative. Youth Works empowers eligible youth ages 16 to 21 (in- and out-of-school) to achieve academic and employment success through
• tutoring/dropout-prevention strategies;
• summer employment;
• paid/unpaid work experiences;
• occupational-skills training;
• leadership development and more.
