For the Youth and Their Future
-
Team Building
SWC creates an environment for our local youth where they can build social and teamwork skills in a safe work environment, preparing them for social success in the real-world of employment, including conflict resolution, constructive problem-solving, working hierarchy, and developing work environment friendships.
-
Responsibility Building
The demands of the workplace can be a shock to our local youth in their first job. SWC introduces them to the responsibilities and rigors of work with supportive direction. Something a first-job employer may not afford.
-
Skills Building
SWC develops functional skills in our trainees, specific to the food service industry (a common first-job of students). We train them in virtually everything, including cleaning, knife and cooking skills, barista-ing, customer service, and money handling.
