This experience is to promote career exposure and learning about your industry. Expectations are that they be given some leeway as they newly learn your operation. Difficulties could arise. It is encouraged that youth are matched with onsite workplace mentors. Some youth will also be matched with external mentors. In addition, you have access to Our Community’s Children (OCC) at occyouth@grcity.us or 616.456.3558 to help resolve any issues that may arise so the work experience is successful. It is important that OCC be contacted as soon as there is evidence of an unacceptable pattern of behavior.
