Youth Services
Face it – the real world can be overwhelming for today’s youth.
Balancing work, friends, family, money… Sometimes it’s a wonder that you’re staying afloat. And when your job – if you even have one – barely pays enough to make ends meet, the real world may be more than you signed up for.
Maybe it’s time to take a step back and ask yourself: Is this really what I want? Can I be happier doing something else? Do I have any other options?
CareerSource Pinellas is here to help find a career path that’s right for you.
Because it knows that not every career journey is the same. For some youth, hands-on training and a career in trades may sound better than going back to school or applying to college. For others, internships might be a necessity, but finding one isn’t always easy. Maybe you’re not even sure where to start when you think about beginning a career. That’s okay!
Get started today!
For more information on how you can participate, email Morgan Miele or give her a call!
If you’re more of a face-to-face person, then come right into our centers. We have trained professionals waiting to assist you with developing a future you can be proud of. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Youth Services Include:
-
Career Exploration
- What are your strengths?

- CareerOneStop Youth Program Finder was created in response to requests for help locating services for people age 16 to 24. The Finder was designed to be used by young people on their own or by adult intermediaries. Any young adults seeking career or employment assistance can easily access it from a computer, tablet or phone. They can also search for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs and find out if they are eligible for more in-depth services. Counselors working with young adults who plan to relocate will also find it valuable to research services available in their new location.
