Youth will be educated on soft skill areas such as proper work attire, work scheduling, call-in procedures, and the importance of being on time and maintaining a good attendance record.
A money management session will be presented to provide youth with practical information about how to manage their money earned through summer employment including the value of saving money, opening a bank account, and the importance of responsible credit card use.
