Youth Career Advancement Flyer-2023

YCA (Youth Career Advancement Training), a project of Career Resources, Inc., is a free 6–8-week program for individuals aged 16-24. We use a virtual classroom environment meeting Monday through Friday from 10:00AM-3:30PM. The format is meant to simulate and prepare participants for a “real world” work-environment.

YCA’s curriculum engages participants to challenge themselves in the following areas: setting goals, mapping out step-by-step action plans, life and attitudinal skills, professional development, work readiness, computer literacy, financial literacy, and a National Retail Federation customer service and sales credential (upon successful completion of the certification exam).

The next cohort begins on Monday, October 16, 2023. We cap enrollment at 12 to maintain individualized attention. Programs run throughout the year and enrollment is ongoing.
