Youth Information and Services
Especially for Kids, Teens and Young Adults
Research shows that early career exploration, proactive career planning, the involvement of at least one caring adult,
and a wealth of information about educational requirements and job opportunities in the labor market all dramatically increase
a young person's chances of obtaining and retaining a successful career pathway that leads to adult self-sufficiency.
These links provide a wide range of resources, tools and guides to assist youth in all situations with developing their potential.
Taken together, these resources work to place the power of information into the hands of youth and those individuals who guide
them in successfully navigating their way into adulthood amidst a global knowledge economy, where understanding the value of
life-long learning is the key to sustained employability.
