Summer Youth Employment Program
The Summer Youth Employment Program is a tribally funded program that employs between 50-60 youth each summer for a 7-8 week period. Once a student applies for the program they are interviewed and selected for various positions based on their interests and skill set. Some of the job sites available this summer will include: Aquaponics Operation, Day Care Aides, Kidzone Assistants, Water Treatment Technician Assistant, Casino Human Resources, Visions Center Receptionist, Housing Assistant, and General Laborers.
The Hannahville Youth Employment Program is intended to give youth the opportunity to:
Enhance basic educational skills.
Build career awareness of occupations.
Build civic responsibility, employability and worker maturity skills.
Prepare for the local labor market.
Provide exposure to the world of work.
Encourage school completion, or enrollment in alternative school settings.
As a participant, youth have the opportunity to be placed in an individual worksite that aligns with their career pathway of interest, to help them learn about their potential career choice. The purpose of the experience is to enhance the job prospects and career opportunities of young people, and to enable them to secure unsubsidized employment in the public and private sectors of the economy.
This experience includes a well-supervised work experience and additional services to include labor market, career information, team building, leadership building and other worker maturity skills needed in today’s workplace.
Tribal members and descendants between the ages of 14-19 (14 years of age by June and 19 or through the summer of graduation) are eligible for Summer Youth Employment. Eligible youth must have their paperwork turned in no later than May 7, 2015.
The Job Fair will be held on Thursday, May 14, from 3:00-5:00 pm in the upper level of Youth Center at which time site supervisors will conduct interviews.
If you have any questions, please contact Rebecca Spreitzer, Youth Employment Coordinator at 723-2726.
