Philadelphia youth want to work…here’s how you can help!
If investing in the future of Philadelphia’s youth and workforce interests you, consider volunteering to be a Facilitator for WorkReady Summer 2012’s Internship Professional Development Series. The weekly series is designed to prepare young interns, high school juniors through first-year college students, with the skills and resources necessary to successfully complete their WorkReady summer internship.
Each summer, young people in Philadelphia are able to explore how their interests and skills can translate into future careers through WorkReady Summer Internships. Last year, over 5,300 young people participated in WorkReady Summer programs; more than 1,000 of them were supported by local companies. This cross-sector partnership is endorsed by the business community and city leadership. AND it’s a great way to develop our region’s future leaders by supporting today’s youth.
