Jobs are difficult for anyone to get, but for a high school student, working in the corporate sector seems like a far-fetched dream. However, the Mayor's Youth Employment Program makes that dream a reality for 100 junior and senior high school students from the City of Stamford. The students get access to paid employment in the corporate, private, or non-profit sector. In addition to the job, the students get guidance and training from government employees. The training starts before the job, as students must complete an application and go through a job interview for what is usually their first time. Once they are accepted, students learn about the many aspects of being a good worker, including: professionalism, time management, communication, teamwork, adaptability, and much more. The Mayor's Youth Employment Program provides students with a "real world" perspective right before they go into college, and helps improve their skills to make them better workers both for the job they receive from the program and any future jobs they may have.The Mayor's Youth Employment Program is to provide Stamford's youth with the necessary job readiness and leadership skills needed to compete in the global workforce.
