Summer Youth Employers Needed
Achieving
decent work for young
people is essential for a community’s stability and growth. We know the Darke County
is faced with this
challenge now, so how can we help youth of today face this obstacle?
One way is
breaking new ground and creating partnerships with local employers in
Darke
County to serve as host employment sites for the WIA Summer Youth
Program.
The
Council on Rural Services and
WIA (Workforce Invest Act) is looking for profit or non-profit
employers that
would like to provide opportunities for job training for youth aged 14
to 21
and help them learn the right skills for the future.
The summer employment/mentoring program
runs
from July 1st through August 16th.
Council
on Rural Services will
provide the applicants, pay the wages, and offer job support to the
youth. Your
business will have the opportunity to
work alongside youth and young adults and provide the job training and
mentoring
that help them learn the right skills for the future. .
Your
company can help break down
barriers in today’s unemployment crisis and create a positive future
for
today’s youth while working with our company that has served and
supported
youth for 25 years. We
will help you to
create a win-win opportunity for your organization and area’s youth. You can become part of the
solution and help
youth transition into adulthood.
What a
great opportunity for our local businesses to be involved in the future.
Take
the initiative and call today
and find out more information about becoming a host employment site. Call Michelle
Miller-Elliott, Youth Advocate
at Gateway’s WIA Youth Program at 937-548-8002; she is waiting to talk
with
you. Please respond
by May 3 if you are
interested in this wonderful opportunity.
WIA
Youth is funded by the
Department of Labor/Workforce Invest Act through Darke County
Department of Job
and Family Service and the Darke County Commission.
