Youth Services
Choices, choices, choices. Trying to decide can make you crazy sometimes, but picking Career Path Services is a no brainer! We can help open doors and increase the number of employment choices you'll have in the future. We've been helping youth (ages 16-21) find jobs and start careers for years. Our employment representatives work one-on-one with customers to meet their goals. Services include:
- Education services, such as GED and high school re-entry
- Skills training
- Employment workshops
- Career counseling
- Paid work experience or on the job training
- Mentoring
- Leadership development
- Job referrals
- And so much more!
All in all, our youth services helped nearly 200 young adults find jobs or go on to higher education last year!
One Customer's story
Tammy, age 18, needed her GED but could not afford the test fees, and couldn't find a good paying job without having her GED. When Tammy's mother passed away, a friend's mother offered her a place to live if she would go to school. Tammy saw an ad for Career Path Services in the newspaper and called us. An employment representative enrolled Tammy into our classroom to earn her GED and a nursing class to earn her NAC. She completed both and is now making $9.00 an hour working for a local retirement center. She's now studying to become an LPN.
