Info Sessions for 2014 W.A.G.E.S cohort

RantWoman has NO illusions that this blog is the fastest way to reach young people who might qualify for this program. RantWoman would never mind being wrong and encourages readers to pass this along to people who might both qualify and benefit.
 
From email:
With the sun shining and the temperatures rising, I’m struggling to find a better way to encourage young adults to stay cool and learn Employment Skills other than through the WAGES program! Next week I will be holding Informational Sessions (July 16th & 17th @ 2pm) at the Y’s Young Adult Services in the 2100 Bldg., setting up interviews and hiring for the upcoming cohort of W.A.G.E.S. which starts AUGUST 4th! There tends to be a dip during the summer months with recruiting qualified young adults so I’m requesting extra help to identify motivated candidates. See information below for basic qualifying criteria:
W.A.G.E.S. Criteria:
  • Between the ages of 18 & 22.
  • Struggling with homelessness (i.e. temporarily staying with friends/family, squatting, Transitional Housing, etc.)
  • Committed to an 8 week internship
  • Have not participated in Tile or Zine
  • Have 2 forms of ID prior to the start of the session
Attached to this email is the Working Zone Employment Opportunity application, W.A.G.E.S. flyer, and NEWLY REVISED Overview of the W.A.G.E.S. program! Don’t hesitate to have a qualified participant fill out the WZ application and return to me via fax @ 206.749.7541! Also, it would be greatly appreciated if you could post the attached W.A.G.E.S. flyer and/or pass along to other community agencies working with similar young adult demographics. [Okay, so the flyer did not get attached. Write or call below and ask to have it sent. Or if connectivity is a problem, ask about ways to get it in person!]
If you have any questions and/or need additional information please feel free to contact me by responding to this email and/or contacting me at 206.749.7578. Thanks for your time and have a great rest of the day!
