For Youth
“When I first came to the YES office, everyone there was warm and friendly. Their training class that everyone takes before getting access to the Job Board was really informative and interesting. I learned skills like how to fill out an application and what to wear and how to act during an interview. I used those skills in my interview and I always look back and am glad that I had those tips and tricks in my back pocket when going for my interview. I was one up on everyone and it helped me acquire the position I have now.”
