Youth Career Café

Building a pipeline of workforce talent

From Health Care to Government Service, business and industry need people with a wide variety of skills to provide exceptional service to their customers or constituents. Career exploration is an essential part of preparing for adulthood, yet many teenagers and young adults have little, if any, exposure to the endless combinations of industries and occupations from which they can choose.

The Youth Career Café is an innovative approach to getting Peninsula youth who are currently enrolled in Secondary and Post Secondary education curricula to seek career opportunities that will both satisfy and challenge. The Café provides a number of assessments and skills development tools so that area youth can evaluate and enhance their competitiveness before they take their initial steps into the working world.
