Workplace Readiness Week
California’s Workplace Readiness Week ensures students learn their labor rights—like fair pay, safe working conditions, and protections against retaliation—before entering the workforce. Whether you're starting a summer job, internship, or part-time work, this initiative helps you recognize illegal treatment and advocate for yourself. Plus, discover career pathways through apprenticeships and the history of worker protections. Knowledge is power—get informed before you clock in!
(Based on CA AB800, effective 2024.)
Why this matters: Many young workers face wage theft or unsafe conditions without realizing their rights. This program arms students with critical information to start their careers confidently.
