The BEST Program

Skills like conflict resolution and stress management are often overlooked when supporting young people in finding employment. These skills are actually an important part to long term sustainability and success. The BEST Program focuses on these ‘soft’ skills along with effective resume + cover letter writing, job searching, and digital literacy to ensure a smooth transition to full time work.
