Most of us wouldn’t be where we are today without our first jobs. Now you can provide the same opportunity to a young person at a time when fewer employment opportunities than ever exist for youth.
How? By hiring a young person this summer.
Youth@Work matches young people with job an internship opportunities at local businesses. We make it easy for you to:
- Get a great worker
- Change a young person’s life
- Introduce youth to your trade or industry

Why participate in Youth@Work?
It’s good for business:
Youth can benefit your business because they are eager to learn new skills and are hard-workers. Because they have so few preconceived notions about the workplace, young people make good trainees. They are usually up-to-date on the latest technology and tend to be less expensive to hire than their adult counterparts.
It’s good for youth, good for the community, and good for the economy:
Research shows that when we put youth to work, they are more likely to graduate from high school and become productive members of society.
