Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont and the city of Charlotte have launched the the 2009 Youth Job Connection.
The program is open to Charlotte youth between the ages of 14 and 18.
Teens participating in the program can access free job training and placement assistance, including resume writing, customer service and interview skills.
The program provides a one-stop shop for area employers to access a job-ready, pre-screened pool of young adults eager to work.
Online registration for youth and employers with jobs is available now at www.youthjobconnection.com.
Walk-in services are available from noon to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and noon to 4:30 p.m. on Friday at Goodwill’s corporate office at 2122 Freedom Drive.
The program started as a pilot last summer and expanded to a year-round service after more than 2,000 youth registered for services.
