Job Readiness Training
Job Readiness Training (JRT) prepares youth ages 16-25 to apply for a number of private sector jobs or to be referred to internships. Participants learn how to prepare a resume, interviewing skills, employer expectations, appropriate workplace conduct, and communicating with employers. This training is free. (See our list of Participating Employers to see which companies and organizations have hired our youth in the past.)
Note: YouthWorks is currently partnering with CareerLink to develop employment opportunities for area youth . In addition to workshops at YouthWorks, future JRT sessions will be held at the Pittsburgh and Forest Hills CareerLink offices. Please call the YouthWorks office (412) 281-6629 for more information or visit www.careerlinkpittsburgh.com for locations and to apply for jobs.
