How do i add an on click event to a class that was added?

Here is what I'm trying to achieve: 

$(".journey-buttons__next").on("click", function() {
        $(".progress__bar span").css("width", "33.3%");
        $(".content__step-one").css("display", "none");
        $(".content__step-two").css("display", "block");
        $(".progress__completion").text("33% Complete");
        $(this).addClass("go-to-third-step");
});
$(".go-to-third-step").on("click", function() {
        $(".progress__bar span").css("width", "66.6%");
        $(".content__step-two").css("display", "none");
        $(".content__step-three").css("display", "block");
        $(".progress__completion").text("66% Complete");
        $(this).text("Complete");
});

You could create a delegated handler in advance, but that would require a different approach to implementing the handler code.

The easiest fix would be to put the code that establishes the handler inside the other handler. And since the class is being added to "this", you could also skip the class setting entirely and just set the handler directly:

$(".journey-buttons__next").on("click", function() {
    $(".progress__bar span").css("width", "33.3%");
    $(".content__step-one").css("display", "none");
    $(".content__step-two").css("display", "block");
    $(".progress__completion").text("33% Complete");
    $(this).on("click", function() {
        $(".progress__bar span").css("width", "66.6%");
        $(".content__step-two").css("display", "none");
        $(".content__step-three").css("display", "block");
        $(".progress__completion").text("66% Complete");
        $(this).text("Complete");
    });
});
