This training covers who JOG is, what the goal of becoming an employer partner with JOG is for both sides of this new partnership, how to be a successful youth mentor, expectations of the program, how to use the clock in and out timeclock system and answering any questions you may have before having participants come to your worksite.

At this point, you are ready to bring on a JOG participant to work on your worksite. On their first day make sure that your team is aware of the new addition to the site and introduce them. We want your team and JOG participants to feel confident in working together and this is a great way to get things started on the right foot. After this step, please make sure to provide participants with a tour of the facility, their formal job description, their set schedule and the process on how to clock in and out. Finally, if the participant will not be reporting to you, make sure to introduce them to their new supervisor so that they can discuss how their team interacts and their expectations.
STEP 5: Mentor Youth Through Paid Work Experience
After you have finished training the new JOG participants you have on your worksite, they are ready to work! Whether it is through a subsidized program or a traditional unsubsidized program, the JOG employer engagement team remains an asset to help you and your participant(s) along the way. As a employer partner with JOG, you are able to bring in participants and teach/mentor them on site. By working with these young people, you are able to help instill good work ethics and establish healthy working habits with the next generation of the workforce.
