Prince George's Community College offers Job Readiness Training in partnership with the Prince George’s County Office of Human Resource Management and the Youth@Work/Summer Youth Enrichment Program. Our training mimics the workplace and offers young people a safe environment where they can demonstrate readiness for work. Eligible students receive training on topics such as workplace ethics, career planning, communication, customer service, and teamwork. Students who complete this training have an opportunity to earn certification and a digital badge from the Center for Work Ethic Development and Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
Student Information
Employers are looking for individuals who can self-initiate, investigate, problem-solve, and demonstrate excellent customer service skills. The job training experience provides the perfect environment for youth to develop and demonstrate these necessary skills with confidence.
Students in the Youth@Work/SYEP Job Training Programs are completely responsible for all of the tasks related to their enrollment, attendance, assignments, and following up on their application for employment. Parents and other third parties are not allowed to inquire or speak on behalf of the student per the Family Educational Rights and Protections Act (FERPA).
