Councilman Dee Andrews announced that the Sixth District Youth Employment Workshop will start Friday at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park.
The free 10 a.m. workshop -- at the park's Social Hall, 1950 Lemon Ave. -- will focus on summer jobs for local youth, ages 16 to 24, while offering assistance in developing their career path skills.
"As a young individual, obtaining and maintaining your first job can be very difficult. Workshops like this prepare youth with job readiness, placement and employment support," said Andrews in a prepared statement.
The councilman is joining in the effort with Pacific Gateway Workforce Investment Network, City of Long Beach Parks, Recreation, & Marine and the Boys & Girls Club of Long Beach,
Participants will have the opportunity to apply for a work program in a variety of entry-level jobs at government agencies, hospitals, summer camps, nonprofits, small businesses, law firms, museums, sports enterprises and retail organizations. The workshop will include the chance to learn about summer jobs, year-round employment and career pathway strategies
