Check out our newly enrolled students on their fourth week of The Workforce
Development Program. The students have been finalizing their first resumes and cover letters and we celebrated with some healthy drinks by Desired Nutrition, a small business located in Norwalk. If we work as a team we win.

About The Workforce Development Program: We launched this program February 8th, 2022. This 10 week program gives High School students the opportunity to prepare for the workforce. Students will leave this program with a
professional portfolio to present at interviews and networking events. Our goal is to have every student exit the program with secured employment.
We are hosting a career fair during the 9th week of the program with YBI business partners. Our students will prepare for the interview process as well as receive tips and feedback.
