A Time for Children

A Training Ground for Our Next Generation

When hiring young people for entry-level positions, the answers to several key questions are a good indication of their likelihood to succeed:

• Are they punctual?
• Do they have positive attitudes?
• Will they follow directions as given?
• Can they adapt their personal styles to a corporate environment?
• Can they understand their place in the chain of command?

A majority of students in the store’s training program come from New York’s most underserved neighborhoods. They arrive determined to “grab the first rung” of the corporate ladder, but often lack the basic workplace skills needed to climb any higher.

A Time for Children’s Retail Readiness Program teaches teens these needed skills as it helps them gain experience in a real-world work environment.

By the time they graduate, participants have solid, hands-on experience within a contemporary workplace along with the self-assurance that comes from knowing they can deliver whatever their next job may demand. In short, they become the type of valuable young employees corporations seek.
