Employment

The job process

How to leave a job

Does the youth know how to properly end employment?

Sometimes a position is no longer a good fit. Encourage youth to stay on good terms when ending employment, including submitting a resignation letter that explains the reason for leaving the job.

  • Awareness: Understand how to determine the need to leave a job appropriately.
  • Exploration: Identify strengths, preferences, interests and needs for identifying sources for leaving a job appropriately.
  • Preparation: Practice using appropriate sources for leaving a job.
  • Implementation: Use skills for leaving a job.
