Start your journey seeking a part-time or summer job with CNIB Learning Academy’s Youth Job Club! There is no time like the present to begin your work experiences. Having a part-time or summer job will put some money in your pocket, and you give valuable skills that employers are looking for.
Facilitated by staff with sight loss, this program will help participants prepare for their first summer or part-time job by exploring the following topics:
- Learn about work and volunteer opportunities;
- Learn how you work and why with Personality Dimensions;
- Skill identification and interests;
- Discuss employers’ expectations and what you need to get a job;
- Learn how to present yourself and begin your elevator pitch.
Youth with sight loss who are interested in seeking part-time or summer employment, and who are eligible to work in their province of residence are eligible to attend this program.
Virtual sessions are hosted biweekly on Tuesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Zoom. Zoom information will be sent after registering.
