What does AERP mean in COMMUNITY

The Adolescent Employment Readiness Project (AERP) is an initiative that provides access to resources, support services, and education opportunities to youth ages 16-24 to help them find and retain employment. AERP works directly with students and employers to ensure that young people have access to comprehensive career opportunities.

AERP helps adolescents by providing resources, support services, and educational opportunities related to employability skills. These include job searching, resume building, interviewing tips, professional development courses, mentorship programs, and more. This helps young people gain important skills for employment success.

AERP offers a variety of resources tailored towards helping adolescents in the workforce. These include job postings, resume building tools, interview skills practice sessions, online learning modules focused on workplace etiquette and behavior expectations. Additionally they provide access to mentorships through their Student Mentors Program and provide training sessions for employers on best hiring practices for youth workers.

The age range for participants in AERP is 16-24 years old. This age range encompasses both high school and college students who may be looking for internships or employment opportunities upon graduating from secondary education institutions.

At this time AERP does not offer any financial assistance directly. However they do partner with other organizations that offer scholarship funds or grants which may be able to assist you in finding financial aid for your education as well as help with career search expenses such as transportation costs or clothing items needed for an interview.

In order to participate in the program you must be between the ages of 16-24 years old at the time of enrollment and reside within one of the five boroughs of New York City. You must also commit to attending all scheduled meetings during your participation period as well as maintaining good communication between yourself and your assigned mentor(s).

Yes! All interested participants must complete an online application form before they can officially become part of the program. The application asks questions about your educational background and experience working in a professional environment so it’s important that you provide accurate information when completing it.

Participating in AERP does not guarantee a job opportunity after completion but it will certainly give you valuable tools that will increase your chances of finding one once you graduate from school or finish up any other certification programs you might take part in while enrolled with us. Our goal is always to equip our staff with necessary employability skills so they can confidently enter into their chosen field whenever they’re ready!
