County
offers Summer Youth
Employment
Program
FREEHOLD, NJ –The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners is pleased to announce
the 2022 Summer Youth Employment Program (S.Y.E.P.) offered through the Monmouth
County Division of Workforce Development.
“As our summer
season draws closer, we are seeing ‘Help Wanted’ signs across the County and
the S.Y.E.P will help our young people prepare for a career but also assist our
local businesses who need employees. This is a win-win for everyone involved,”
said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “The S.Y.E.P is just one example
of how the County continues to support our small businesses and help job
seekers through the variety of programs we offer.”
“The Monmouth County
Division of Workforce Development is offering a wonderful program to help
connect our County’s youth with summer job opportunities,” said County
Commissioner Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Division of
Workforce Development. “The Summer Youth Employment Program is an extension of
the Youth Services program that is designed to equip our young people with the
proper tools to help them start careers.”
The S.Y.E.P is
offered to all Monmouth County residents between the ages of 16 and 24 years
old. S.Y.E.P. helps County youth to learn how to complete a job application,
find a mentor, prepare for a future career, and gain valuable work experience.
“Workforce Development
currently has summer recreation, retail, restaurant, and office positions available
for young job seekers to work 25 hours a week for eight weeks, earning $15.00 per
hour,” said Deputy Director Kiley. “The Division is also looking for employers
who would like to participate in the Summer Youth Employment Program. If you
are interested, please contact the Workforce Development Youth Program as soon
as possible.”
The S.Y.E.P. has
limited spots available. Interested job seekers should contact the Workforce
Development Youth Program as soon as possible to reserve a slot or to be put on
the waitlist.
This program is
funded by the New Jersey Department of Labor.
