Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club Invites Teens to Participate in Summer Youth Employment Workshop

Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club invites teens ages 16 and above to participate in the Club’s Summer Youth Employment program designed to help and prepare teens to understand the job market, undertake the application process and improve their interview and presentation skills to better meet the requirements and expectations of employment opportunities.

 

The Summer Youth Employment program, led by the GCBGC Teen Program Director Antoinette Edmonston with assistance from board member Christiane Traxler Leonardis and Middle School Program Coordinator Desirae O’Neill, will begin Wednesday, April 23 with a series of workshops.  There are a total five mandatory workshops with each focusing on different aspects of career development from preparing for college to fine tuning job search and interview skills to learning how to manage finances.  Apple Bank is partnering with the Club this year to provide a workshop on financial literacy.

"In today's competitive job market, it's crucial for our Club teens to have the tools they need to succeed.  Learning how and where to find a job, what to do on an interview and how to write a resume are just some of the topics we cover. The program provides a way to gain real-world experience through the job search process, while adding skills and hopefully, employment,” said Christiane Traxler Leonardis.
