Youths ages 15 through 18 who are interested in developing the skills needed to successfully interview for a job are invited to register for the upcoming session of the “Palmdale Works! Youth Job Academy.”

Classes will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from Sept. 1 through Sept. 15 from 3:30 to 5:30 pm at the Chimbole Cultural Center, 38550 Sierra Highway in Palmdale.

During the course of the program, Academy students will be taught how to dress and prepare for a job interview, as well as meeting employers from local businesses and role-playing in mock interviews. Participants must attend each session to graduate.

"Participation in a program like this really does speak volumes to potential employers about the motivation and commitment of any young person entering the job market," said Palmdale’s Community Programs Supervisor Trish Jones.
