PEPP – Pre-Employment Preparation Program Begins

The Van Go Pre-Employment Prep Program (PEPP) is a 4-week learning opportunity for youth, ages 14-15, with limited or no prior work history, who are interested in expanding their knowledge related to employment and life skills, with an element of art expression. Youth will learn job skills employers value, employee rights and restrictions for those under 18 years old, and the importance of self-care for success in the work environment. Each youth will leave with a customizable resume, mock interview experience, employability and life skills training and up to a $300 paid stipend for their full participation in the 30-hour program.
