March 14, 2008 -- Community Youth Career and Employment Forum
Thanks to Covenant House New York’s Brooklyn Community Resource Center, more than 100 kids learned the importance of employment and the methods in which to obtain a job. On March 12th, a Community Youth Career & Employment Forum was held at the Brooklyn Community Resource Center. Invited to attend and speak at the event were more than dozen local specialists in youth employment. After having the opportunity to learn about each panelist, the kids in attendance were divided into groups for small informative sessions. These sessions ranged from – ‘Developing a Plan to Know One’s Vision’ to ‘How to Turn a Job into a Career.’ Overall, the Community Youth Career Forum was designed to provide kids with a wealth of information and available resources in order to enhance their knowledge of the workforce and help them explore different career options. It is the hope of Covenant House New York and all the service providers at the forum that the young people reach their optimal goal of obtaining a job and turning that job into a career.
