FY 2015 Statistics
Covenant House Texas partners with local businesses to stay abreast
of local employment needs and strives to fill those needs with qualified
individuals from CHT.
A partnership is simple. Essentially all your company needs to do is
maintain open communications with CHT’s Job Developer and keep
us updated on current openings suitable for our youth. Employers can
further assist CHT by conducting and sharing periodic performance
reviews.
By hiring CHTyouth, your company will not only meet your employment
needs, but also be an integral part in helping a young person turn their
life around. The stability of employment is often just what our youth
need to make something of themselves and to begin down the path of
self sufficiency.
