Transition Workforce Specialist

Tompkins County Workforce Development is hiring a Transition Workforce Specialist to empower young people ages 14-24 to build successful careers and bright futures. As part of our WIOA Youth Program, you'll work directly with teens and young adults, connecting them with meaningful work experiences, training opportunities, and the support they need to thrive. You will provide case management, career guidance, and access to education and training opportunities. The program is designed to help young people overcome barriers to employment and achieve long-term career success and self-sufficiency.

This is also more than a jobit's an opportunity to be a mentor, advocate, and champion for young people navigating their career paths. You'll be out in the community, building relationships with youth and worksite partners across Tompkins County, creating pathways to success, and playing a vital role in shaping the workforce of tomorrow.

This position requires regular travel to worksites throughout the county (mileage reimbursed at the government rate), so a valid NYS driver's license and reliable personal transportation are required. If you're passionate about youth development, equity, hands-on community engagement, and making a tangible difference, we want to hear from you! You'll collaborate with a supportive team dedicated to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
