At Risk Youth Employment Programs

Provider: VERDUGO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AREA - VERDUGO JOBS CENTER - AMERICA'S JOB CENTER OF CALIFORNIA

The agency provides job training programs for youth age 14 to 24 in the communities of Burbank, Glendale, and La Canada Flintridge. Services include at risk youth employment programs, summer employment programs, and WIOA programs. There are geographic restrictions.

Programs prioritize funding to assist at risk youth who have further barriers to employment such as foster youth, youth with disabilities, parenting youth and youth who are on probation.

The Training, Employment, and Mentoring (TEAM) program prepares high school seniors for post secondary education and employment. Participants learn to meet workplace expectations such as being on time, dressing appropriately, and following through on assignments.

The agency's Employment Incentive program serves older youth ages 18 to 24 by placing them in primarily private businesses to gain skills and experience. The program pays for the initial training hours as an incentive for the employer to hire youth.

Job placement in career exploration jobs for youth ages 18 to 24 with a proven work ethic and previous job experience is available through the Glendale Resource for Employment and Training program (GREAT).

The agency offers two summer employment programs. Eligible at risk youth ages 14 to 24 may participate in a 6 week program with various employment and training opportunities. Youth ages 15 to 18 that would not otherwise qualify for agency programs may participate in the Summer Employment and Leadership Program (SELP). The SELP program has a tuition fee to access training, case management, and 80 hours of paid work experience at a worksite based on individual career interests.
