Volunteer: Career Readiness Workshop Developer/FacilitatorDescription: We are currently seeking a seasoned business professional to assist in the development and facilitation of a career readiness workshop in support of the Jersey Cares Youth Workforce Development Program.

This format enables interns to access and engage with the workshop content at their convenience, aligning with their individual schedules. This initiative presents a great opportunity for volunteers to contribute their expertise towards preparing our youth for successful entry into the workforce.
