In response to our young community members’ desire for meaningful work at an early age, CEA now offers year-round career exploration and work-readiness education to youth out of school between 16 and 24 years old. Programming provides exposure to various professional fields of interest, including STEM, Entrepreneurship, Nursing and Health Care, Business, Cosmetology, and more. We also address personal skills like choosing proper work attire, maintaining a schedule, and professional communication to set young people up for success in the workplace.
