WorkReady Summer Programs

Catholic Social Services provides two levels of opportunity for our summer programming. For younger applicants (rising middle school youth) we have an Career Exploration program. This is hosted at our St. Hubert's Highschool Location. For older and returning applicants; we partner with various work experiences throughout the city. Most positions will require clearances and be focused on supporting summer camp programs. Other positions range from small businesses to IT departments.

We will only accept youth who we share our code with. Our program is a comprehensive program that will allow participants to gain knowledge of a variety of skills-based on the worksite assigned. Skills that may be learned, fashion, community service, education and more.

​Working for Success is a program designed to help young people achieve their dream careers. We ask our young people what they want to be when they grow up, and we do everything in our power to give them an internship within that career field. We have a 90% placement in the top two career choices of our young people. We hope to not only expose our young people to careers and opportunities that fit within their dream, but to nurture and support their passion into a vision and a path to get there
