Soft Skills

Lancaster Fairfield Community Action Agency is partnering with TeenWorks, Inc. (a local teen staffing agency) to provide "soft skills" training to at-risk youth, who have barriers to employment.  

The curriculum utilized is Soft Skills to Pay the Bills: Mastering Soft Skills for Workplace Success and was developed by The Office of Disability Employment Policy. The training focuses on workplace readiness skills in six skill areas:

  • Communication

  • Enthusiasm/Attitude

  • Teamwork

  • Networking

  • Problem-solving/Critical Thinking

  • Professionalism.

Participants complete pre and post assessments which measure changes in their knowledge, behavior, and attitudes as a result of the training. Youth who successfully complete the training will receive a certificate of completion and have the opportunity to participate in a Subsidized Youth Employment Program, through Teenworks, Inc.
