Salinas, CA – As part of local Workforce Investment Act activities and funding, the Monterey County Office for Employment Training is operating a Youth Employment Program for local youth ages 14-21.
The Youth Employment Program is seeking to place as many as 1,200 youth into a work experience opportunity to gain valuable, hands-on experience with a diverse range of local private, non-profit and government-sector employers.
We are seeking employers who are interested in becoming Employment Partner worksites to provide meaningful employment opportunities to full and part-time students. The Office for Employment Training will pay the employment wages and provide workers compensation coverage to the youth who qualify.
