Vocational Specialist for Work Appreciation for Youth (WAY)

Medical / Health Care / Pharmaceuticals

The Work Appreciation for Youth (WAY) Program was designed to help at-risk youth and young adults not only realize the value of education and work, but develop the skills they need to get a job and keep it. The WAY Program operates several worksites which help students build job skills that can be transferred into an employment setting. WAY provides a comprehensive, individualized program offering tutoring, job counseling, job readiness training, crisis intervention, life-skills workshops, and career exploration. In some cases, counseling for up to 5 years after discharge is available. Most of all, WAY offers youth a chance at something they deserve — a positive future!
