It has been observed that many young adults who are aging out of the foster care system lack job training and experience. This oftentimes leads to difficulty in maintaining steady employment. 

The Medworks Work/Life Lab is a paid internship program designed to give these young adults an opportunity to work in a job setting that allows for accountability-training on job-readiness and job-etiquette skills. Candidates are vetted by the Independent Living Arrangement in which the youth resides. After being considered for the program, the candidate applies for the position by presenting a resume, completing an in-person interview, and submitting to onboarding screening.

The program's duration is twelve weeks. During that time, the intern is guided by an internal mentor who uses a weekly rating system to evaluate performance in the categories of Attendance, Behavior, and Competency. Once an intern successfully completes the program, the potential opportunity exists for becoming a permanent employee of Medworks. If no position is available, the intern has the knowledge, equipping, and experience to enter into the workforce with confidence and greater potential for successful employment outcomes.
