Summer Youth
Employers Needed
Would you and your company like to make a difference in the life of a
young person this summer in Darke County? Many of today’s youth face
the obstacle of obtaining experience and work in our community.
You can help by becoming a partner host employment site this summer for
the WIA Summer Work Program.
The Council on Rural Services (CORS) along with Gateway Youth Programs
and WIA Darke County is looking for local profit or non-profit
employers that can provide opportunities of mentoring and job training
for youth and young adults aged 14 to 21.
WIA will provide the applicants, pay their wages and offer job support
to the youth participants.
Business host sites will provide job training and mentoring for youth.
All will benefit by working together to create positive futures for the
emerging workforce of youth in the county.
Together your business and our agency, which has served and supported
youth in our community for 26 years, creates a win-win partnership
situation. Jointly the collaboration can provide the tools needed for
today’s youth to successfully transition into the workforce and
adulthood which benefits the whole community.
You can help jump start a youth towards reaching their career
goals! If you are interested and would like to help area young
people learn necessary job skills, call today to find out more
information about becoming a host employment site. You can reach Kathy
Kenworthy, Youth Advocate, at the WIA Youth Program at 937-548-8002.
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 Commissioners.
