Job Training Program

Preparing girls for the future is a responsibility YLOT takes seriously. We challenge our girls to set achieveable short and long-term goals that will expand their skill set and help them prepare for productive, self-sufficient futures. In addition to providing tutoring services geared toward helping girls achieve academic success in their school careers, YLOT offers job training and workshops to help girls prepare for professional success. Workshop topics are varied and may include résumé/cover letter writing, interviewing skills, appropriate dress, responding to authority, capitalizing on strengths, embracing workplace diversity, interpersonal/ teamwork skills, and other subjects that prepare youth for workplace realities. YLOT also strives to secure internships and other work assignments for YLOT participants.

Job Readiness

This activity prepares YLOT teenage participants to obtain and maintain employment, including securing and maintaining employment. YLOT partners with companies who serve as job placement sites for internships, and who provide job readiness skills and community service placements that will allow participants to gain practical work experience while returning services to the community.
