Workforce Solutions offers a variety of resources to help individuals build their careers, and one of the most impactful programs available is the Young Adult Paid Internship Program. This initiative provides young adults with valuable hands-on experience in the workforce, helping them develop the skills and knowledge necessary for long-term career success.

Erica Resendez, a Designative Representative for Austin County, attributes much of her career growth to the opportunities provided by Workforce Solutions in Seeley, Texas. “The experience I had as an intern helped me gain the skills and knowledge I now use in my everyday career,” Resendez shared.

Before discovering the internship program, Resendez was unaware that Workforce Solutions offered more than just job placement assistance. It was through a recommendation that she learned about the internship opportunities available. Encouraged to explore this resource, she applied and found it to be a transformative experience.

“This has played an important part. It really does help you build skills and character,” Resendez explained. She emphasized that the program equips young professionals with real-world experience, preparing them for their future careers.

Workforce Solutions’ Young Adult Paid Internship Program has contributed to numerous success stories, providing young individuals with meaningful work experience. These internships serve as a bridge between education and full-time employment, ensuring that participants gain practical knowledge while receiving financial support.

For young adults looking to jumpstart their careers, Workforce Solutions remains a valuable resource. As Resendez put it, “If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be as high as I am in my career.”
