For Teens, Parents, and Employers

The Welcome to the Workforce webinar helps teens, parents, and employers understand their rights and responsibilities while in the workforce and employing new workers. Topics include getting a job and securing a work permit, worker rights, employer responsibilities, career pathways, and youth apprenticeship opportunities. The sessions also will touch on ensuring safety at work and keeping school a priority when classes are in session.
