Program Summary
Through a grant from the State of Oregon, IRCO runs the Youth Employment Services Program (YES) and the Youth Empowerment Program (YEP), which provides employment services to immigrant and refugee youth who are in school to remain in school, by providing them with summer and after school employment opportunities that enable the youth to help their family attain self-sufficiency without having to leave school.
IRCO's bi-lingual/bi-cultural staff provide job readiness training in the form of individual consultations, interview skills training, resume workshops, and life and employment skills training to all youth involved in the YES program.
Once the young person is ready for the work world, we can assist them in finding appropriate employment or more advanced training or higher education options. Our career counselors follow up with the young people to help ensure success and that the job and education goals are met.
