The Youth Work Experience Program is funded through the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) and is open to young people ages 16 to 24. It connects motivated youth with real employers, covering wages and supporting both sides of the relationship every step of the way.
Program Benefits
Paid Work Experience – Youth wages are fully covered — no cost to the employer, and real income for participants.
Skill Development – Participants gain hands-on workplace exposure and build the job readiness skills employers actually want.
Full Employer Support – Our team handles agreements, onboarding coordination, and program implementation from start to finish.
