The Manitoba Youth Job Centre is running a First Job Certificate program to help teach basic job skills to students and youth aged 12 to 29. The program runs from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, July 21st at Under One Roof.

Mariah Yakielashek, the Youth Engagement Leader for MYJC says it's an opportunity for participants to learn basic job skills, and prepare to enter the workforce.

"The goal of the First Jobs Certificate Program is to make sure young people are ready for the job market. This certificate program has 4 different courses: Introduction to the Workplace, Customer Service, Money Management, and Professional Skills and Leadership."

Participants will receive a certificate once they complete the program that's recognized by employers, and can be presented alongside a resume.

"This program is free and available to all students and youth ages 12 – 29. The only thing they need to do to participate in the program is to register with the centre, by phone or email."
