Preparing Youth for What Comes Next

Workforce development starts before a job application. Young people need opportunities to discover their interests, practice workplace skills, learn about different careers, and understand the steps toward training or employment.

People United of Louisiana seeks to help youth connect their strengths and goals with opportunities for the future. Depending on a young person’s needs and the resources available, that may include career exploration, job readiness education, referrals to training, and connections with community partners.

Topics and opportunities

  • Exploring career interests and possible paths.

  • Building communication, time management, and workplace skills.

  • Learning how to prepare a résumé and approach an interview.

  • Identifying education, certification, or training options.

  • Connecting with employment and workforce resources.
