Youth Employment Services (Y.E.S.)

The mission of TCC's Youth Employment Services is to empower Native youth facing barriers to employment by providing work experience, training and educational opportunities designed to foster world-of-work skills. 


TCC's Youth Employment Services (YES) offers diverse services to youth ages 14-21. Today's program is much more than a summer work experience! In school and out of school youth, if eligible and enrolled in our program, are qualified for many potential services throughout the year. We still offer the traditional summer work experience, but also focus on various other employment enhancement opportunities. Learn more about our services by following the links below.
