Corporate Partner Program with Opus Bank
Youth Employment Service (YES) has been expanding its program to reach more youth and young adults throughout Orange County.
This past fiscal year, YES served 646 clients! Our most recent Corporate Partner Program was held at Opus Bank. On June 29, 2018, Opus Bank generously hosted a half-day workshop event for YES clients from Discovery Cube.
To begin the day, student volunteers from Discovery participated in an interactive Employment Skills workshop, facilitated by YES’ Program Specialist Imelda Martinez. During this workshop, YES clients learn the skills needed to feel confident in their ability to successfully interview and secure a job. After eating lunch with Opus Bank employees, in the outdoor courtyard, students participated in two mock interviews; conducted by Opus Bank professionals. These one-on-one interviews are a great opportunity for the students to receive individual feedback to help them improve their interviewing skills. Before returning home, Discovery Cube students were given a fun tour of Opus Bank’s beautiful campus.
Discovery Cube students commented on how seeing the corporate offices, hearing from current employees about what the work culture was like, and learning about potential career and internship opportunities available, was eye-opening for them.
All of us at YES would like to say another big thank you to Opus Bank! It is because of supporters like you, that we are able to continue to prepare, empower, and build confidence in our youth, so that they are:
Prepared for Work. Prepared for life.
