Find a Job
Investing in your Future
What happens after high school? How do you get a job? How should you prepare for college or a career? These are big questions, and the Foothill WDB Youth Services team is here to help you answer them. We help you think about what’s possible for your future and find the resources you need to get there. Even if you’ve been out of school for a while, we’ll help you create a plan to find a job, go to school, get training for a career, or even start your own business. We’re ready to make an investment in your future, right along with you.
Youth Services
If you’re age 14 to 24, FWDB youth services can help you build and develop your skills necessary for a successful career. Our services for youth include workshops on creating a resume, interviewing techniques, customer service, and more. If you’re rusty on skills like math or computer use, the Resource Lab at our Pasadena career center offers online training and tutorials to help you get back up to speed.
Finding a Job
FWDB has a number of programs to assist youth age 14 to 24 with finding employment. If you’re still in high school, you may qualify for placement in a work experience opportunity with one of our employer partners. For youth not currently enrolled in high school, there are a number of ways FWDB can help you map out a plan for your future. To learn more, Contact Delfon Barron, FWDB Community Services Representative at (626) 304-8905 for more information or come to the next FETC Orientation. Check out our website calendar of events for the next FETC Orientation date and time.
