For Young Adults
NextGen/Young Adult Services is a NO COST program of CareerSource Brevard for eligible young adults ages 16-24 seeking to gain work experience, enter the job market, and plan for or launch a career.
Are you ready to enter the job market? Do you know what kind of job you want? Do you have the skills and knowledge to obtain that job? Are you in need of help or support preparing a resume’? Are you ready for an interview? Don’t know where to start and need a little guidance from someone who knows the workforce landscape?

- You are at least 16 years old and a high school student who has been referred by a school to work transition, alternative education, or community/faith-based program. Referral required.
