Testimonials
After registering for the MyStartr program, I felt a renewed sense of confidence. My coach, who called me to explain the hiring process and motivate me, was really nice and made me feel more positive about the whole experience. I would absolutely recommend the MyStartr program to any young person looking for work. With the current job market being so difficult to navigate, it’s easy to feel discouraged and overwhelmed. MyStartr provides excellent support and preparation that is sure to help anyone feel more confident and ready for the job search process.

The support and preparation experience was amazing. I believe that the preparation really did help me get ready for the interview experience because without it, I wouldn’t have had the knowledge I did going into the interview. With the preparation I was able to think before I could say, and it was overall very well thought out to help us youth/young adults get ready for an interview we were all nervous for.
