We know you want a dynamic and high-paying career, where you are respected and have the freedom and independence to build a dream life for yourself and your family.
Pressures at home, in school, and from friends can be complicated and challenging.
We understand that feeling of being stuck. We experienced it ourselves and know what it means to overcome barriers.
That’s why we are offering the Summer Careers Academy – a registered youth apprenticeship program that has helped others and can help you, too.
Stop feeling anxious about your future or stuck in an underpaid, dead-end job.
Instead, earn good money this summer as you gain new skills and explore a high paying career.
STEP 2
Enroll in the 8-week summer program, which includes free training and a paid work experience in a promising career.
STEP 3
Complete the program and take advantage of your new skills, connections with employers, academic credit, and college scholarships.
We believe no young adult should face these challenges alone.
The Summer Careers Academy is your all-access path to a high-paying career.
