State Program Offers Employment Opportunities for Youth04:48PM / Friday, July 18, 2008
BOSTON — Gov. Deval Patrick is urging private sector and non-profit employers to consider hiring a youth in their community through the state's 2008 Summer Youth Works Program.
This year, the state-funded summer jobs initiative is working to provide 2,950 low-income eligible youth ages 14-21 with paid employment opportunities in 25 cities across the commonwealth, including Pittsfield.
In Pittsfield, Youth Works is providing employment to 38 young adults this summer and for the past three years has provided more than 70 additional youth with paid employment experiences.
Teens are recruited through Pittsfield High School, Taconic High School, the Juvenile Resource Center, the Adult Learning Center and the Out-of School Youth Program through Berkshire Works Career Center.
Funding for Youth Works programming has been awarded to Pittsfield through the Commonwealth Corp. since 2005. A percentage of this funding has been allocated to other cities and towns in the region to serve additional youth. This grant complements existing Workforce Investment Act year-round work experiences.
The following employers are participating in the summer program:
Hillcrest Education Centers
Dakota Restaurant
Berkshire Community Action Council
Berkshire Hills Country Club
Catholic Youth Center
Salvation Army
City of Pittsfield
Goodwill Industries
Ralph Froio Senior Center
Berkshire Community College
Crowne Plaza
Tailored Events
Lanesborough Elementary School
Social Security Administration
Berkshire Works
Ever Glow Auto Detailing
Christian Center
North Adams Public Schools
Harry’s Supermarket
City of North Adams
The Youth Works Summer Program is administered by the Berkshire County Regional Employment Board Inc. and the Berkshire Training and Employment Program. For more information, contact Heather Shogry, BCREB youth director at 413-442-7177, Ext. 103, youth@berkshirereb.org or www.bcreb.org. |
