About Summer Youth Work Experience
With the arrival of summer, communities are looking for ways to engage youth in career education and work activities. Summer youth employment and career explorations programs are a popular strategy in many communities to ensure that youth gain valuable workforce experience and have a safe, productive way to spend their summer months. It is also a way to expand opportunities to teens and young adults who otherwise might struggle to find jobs during the summer months. Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development Division of Workforce Services are supporting local efforts that focuses on learn and earn opportunities, life skills, and work skills for youth that aim to increase youth employment and educational attainment.
