TeenQuest sessions to be held after school at five schools this fall

(FLINT, Mich. 09/12/2023) This fall, high school students grades 9-12 and ages 14-19 are eligible to attend TeenQuest, a pre-employment training program, and pre-requisite to Flint & Genesee Education & Talent’s Summer Youth Initiative (SYI) – a summer employment program that employs hundreds of teens each year.
 
“We just wrapped up our 2023 SYI program where 170 students were placed in summer jobs with one of our 26 employer partners in the nonprofit and for-profit spaces,” says James Avery, director of Talent Development for Flint & Genesee Education & Talent. “We are looking forward to providing this opportunity to more students next year. But, in order to prepare for summer employment, students must complete TeenQuest.”
 
TeenQuest teaches students important skills they can use to get and keep a job as well as valuable leadership skills they can take with them no matter what path they take.
