South Holland, IL – South Suburban College (SSC) in partnership with Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership is offering the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), and Out of School Youth Orientation to be held at the South Suburban College Oak Forest Campus, located at 16333 S.

This program offers a wide array of services including career choices, training, work experience, and job search assistance.

One of the key benefits of WIOA Programs is the provision of career choices. Participants have the opportunity to explore different career paths and find the one that aligns with their interests, skills, and goals. This support enables individuals to make informed decisions about their career trajectory, increasing the likelihood of long-term job satisfaction and success.

In addition to career choices, WIOA Programs offer comprehensive training programs to enhance the skills of participants. Through partnerships with educational institutions, vocational training programs, and industry experts, individuals gain access to high-quality training designed to meet the demands of the job market. This equips them with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their chosen fields.

The overall goal of the Out of School Youth program is to empower youth between the ages of 17 and 24 who are not in school, with the resources and support they need to obtain meaningful employment, advance in their careers, and achieve economic self-sufficiency. To participate in this program individuals must meet the established eligibility and suitability criteria. Click on the link below to register
