Program Summary:
Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC), and NextGen Careers is a new initiative to help young adults (ages 18-30) to explore the world of work. NextGen-ers will learn to advocate for themselves, gain self-confidence, and become self-sufficient on their career path. Whether you’re interested in a certificate program, on-the-job training, apprenticeship, or an internship in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM), NextGen will pair you with a team of dedicated experts in counseling, benefits, and peer support that will be behind you every step of the way.
Area Offices: To be served by NextGen Careers, young adults must live in one of the cities and towns including Boston.
At the initiative’s core are the skills that will help you grow your career and confidence overall. The program isn’t just focused on employment— NextGen-ers build confidence themselves and being able to communicate their needs.
Self-capacity – the confidence in their ability to perform a job
Self-advocacy – having the ability to direct one's own life
Self-realization – understanding of their strengths and limitations
Self-sufficiency – having the ability to work and explore independence
