Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me even if I have no idea what I want to do?
Absolutely! No matter where you’re starting, if you’re a 16-24 year old in Snohomish County, we can help you explore your options, then create a goal and a plan to get you there.
I hate school – do I have to go to college to get a good job?
A four-year degree is not the only path to a good-paying job. Other options include apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and short- and long-term certification programs. Together, our team will help you learn about the many paths to success.
I want to go to college but I need a job now NOW to pay my bills. Can you help me with job placement?
Many of our participants are also in this very tough position. We can help you find a job while assisting with long-term career mapping, including putting together a workable plan to fit classes and/or trainings into your life and resources to help you pay for them.
How much is this going to cost?
All our services are free. All you need to do is come in and we’ll get to work with you.
