Is there a screening process to ensure the youth are ready to work?
DYCD and its SYEP Providers verify the age, city residence and permission to work status of each participant selected and enrolled in SYEP. In addition, SYEP Providers conduct a series of educational workshops with their participants that address workplace readiness and other life skills. If the Worksite has additional requirements such as medical clearance, criminal background checks and the like, it is responsible for letting participants know about the requirements and providing for the screening of participants prior to their placement at that Worksite.
