It is a strength-based, paid work experience program for quality high school seniors who are low-income and have at least one barrier. This program provides pre-employment and 21st-century skills training in addition to supportive services to participants who qualify as low-income and have a specific barrier (ex: pregnant and/or parenting, foster youth, unhoused, offender, ≤2.0 GPA or D or F in English or Math). These services may include tutoring, childcare, and counseling center referrals.

What is the work experience plan?

The WIOA Work Experience is a planned and structured learning activity that takes place in a workplace setting for a limited period. This experience is designed to provide young people with hands-on experience and the opportunity to be hired or gain employable skills for future career advancement. During the school year, participants will have the chance to engage in job shadowing, where they can observe professionals or competent workers in action. Our program is a paid, employer-led experience, ensuring that participants not only gain valuable skills but also receive compensation for their work.

I am interested in hosting a youth for their work experience, how can I start the process?
