Have you considered sharing your knowledge with tomorrow's workforce?

We continue to look for new employer partners in McHenry County to mentor and provide work experience to our McHenry County youth participants in our program. All salary and costs of these employees will be paid for through our youth program.

This is a unique opportunity for you to get some well-deserved assistance with your workforce, and in the process, help a young person learn important job and vocational skills. Eligible participants are between the ages of 14-21 and represent a large range of skills and abilities.

We want to make sure that the participant(s) that you host will be a good match for you, taking into account your environment, hours, and the skills required. A youth program case manager will work with you to identify these factors and to help in the mentoring process. We also ensure that all federal, state and local labor requirements are met.

We understand that during these difficult economic times, you may not be able to get the help you need. We want to make a positive difference - both for the under-utilized youth workforce and for the employers of McHenry County - by bringing these two forces together.

Please contact Barbara Billimack or Tracy Butler at the McHenry County Workforce Network Youth Center at 815-206-5201. We look forward to working with you!
