WorkReady Summer Programs

Our program teaches youth the technical skills to build websites using HTML and CSS and other concepts relevant to the tech and innovation industries (problem identification, the development pipeline, user interface design, and user experience design) that allow students to consider and explore their professional futures. Through a combination of live and self–paced learning, youth will learn technical & entrepreneurial skills, receive feedback on their work, and build relationships with peers.

Our program is designed for youth ages 14-18 with minimal to no prior work experience. This program will allow youth to collectively address real-world issues, problems and needs within the local, regional, national or global community. Youth work in groups to explore these issues through research, reflection and development of projects, as well as through direct service and/or advocacy.

Please join us for the Summer Niche Jobs program! All youth who join our program will receive a combination of financial literacy and internship experiences aligned to their future dream jobs or niches. Youth will learn about investing, banking, and financial planning. Youth will travel to, improve upon, observe, and work for a variety of Philadelphia-based businesses and agencies to explore their future career interests.
