The most important thing to us is that we help our teens climb that ladder of success … even though it’s rarely a straight shot! Career Launch provides our teens with the opportunity to job shadow, learning firsthand what it looks like on-the-job. Some of our teens who took part in shadowing programs even had the opportunity to get hired and start their journey in the workforce. We are dedicated to providing a Career Launch program that will fully engage and help prepare teens!   

Here are some things to take into consideration when you’re looking for one of your first jobs.

1. Location: It’s important to be able to get to your job easily and relatively stress-free. Not only because you’re more likely to show up because you didn’t miss that third bus you had to take, but because it’ll leave you in a better mood while you’re working.
2. Schedule: Make sure the job you’re applying for fits your schedule. If the job requires you to work a morning shift and you’re in class, it’s not going to work. If you want to be in two places at once without defying physics, try standing on a state border with one foot in each state. But for now, choose a job that you’ll be able to balance with school.
3. Experience: Make sure to note what kind of experience is needed for the job before you apply. For example, becoming a lifeguard requires CPR training. While some pools offer the training, others don’t. It’s kind of like applying to be a waitress without ever trying the restaurant’s food. Crazy, right?
4. Your Experience: One last thing to think about it what kind of experience do you want to have? If you think stocking shelves is the absolute worst thing you could do, you’re probably not going to want to be a grocery store clerk. There are a lot of options out there so it’s a good idea to choose one that doesn’t make you want to hurl every time you think about it.
