WorkReady BOOST - 2024

Get paid while learning skills that will open doors to future career opportunities!

The Philadelphia Youth Network's WorkReady programs represent a comprehensive youth employment initiative designed to provide young individuals in Philadelphia with valuable work experience, skills development, and career exposure. WorkReady programs aim to prepare youth for the workforce by offering career development curriculum along with a range of paid employment opportunities, including internships, summer jobs, and apprenticeships.

​

WorkReady collaborates with various local businesses, non-profit organizations, and government agencies to create meaningful employment opportunities for participants. Through this initiative, the Philadelphia Youth Network strives to empower youth, enhance their employability, and foster a pipeline of skilled and motivated future workers in the city.

WorkReady stakeholders seek to give young people access to a meaningful paid work experience that promotes self-efficacy, connects youth to caring adults, and offers the opportunity to build the transferable skills required to secure and sustain employment.
