Work Experience Program
"Whatever you are, be a good one" -
Abraham Lincoln
The Work Experience Program can be a valuable
service to help you get your foot in the door to a new career
-
no previous experience is necessary. Through a partnership
with local area businesses we have designed a job-training
program that places you at a job site where you can learn and
practice the skills you need to find a paying job. You can
prove to yourself and the world of work that you have what it
takes to do the job.
Work experience is a great opportunity for you
and for the employer. They get the help they need by
training you and you get experience you need to help you get
started on a great future. It's always possible that your
employer will like your work so much that they just might hire
you permanently after your work experience period is over.
