FOR PARTICIPANTS
Your Vision
At the Summer Careers Academy, we know you want an exciting and high paying career, where you’re respected and have the freedom and independence to build a dream life for yourself and your family. In order to do that, you need money, a clear path, and support along the way.
Your Challenge
Pressures at home, in school, and from friends can be complicated and challenging. That can make you feel trapped and anxious.
Your Way Forward
We understand that feeling of being stuck. We experienced it ourselves and know what it means to overcome barriers. We believe no young adult should have to face these challenges alone. That’s why we are offering the Summer Careers Academy – a Registered Youth Apprenticeship Program that has helped others and can help you, too.
Your Next Step
