Summer Jobs + 2012
Tuesday, February 7, 2012 @ 09:02 AM
The Department of Labor has announced a new initiative – Summer Jobs +. This call-to-action is for businesses, non-profits, and government to provide low-income and disconnected youth employment in the summer of 2012.
Businesses are asked to accept the President’s call-to-action and make a “Pathways Pledge” by choosing at least one of the following three pathways to employment for low-income youth:
Life Skills: Provide youth work-related soft skills.
Work Skills: Provide youth insight into the world of work to prepare for employment.
Learn and Earn: Provide youth on-the-job skills in a learning environment while earning wages for their work.

In the coming weeks, the Department of Labor will be launching a new online tool to help connect youth around the country with great opportunities for the summer of 2012. Sign up to be the first to know when the Summer Jobs+ Jobs Bank is live!
