"Should everyone have a job before the age of 18 years old?
The simple answer to that question is yes. Youth employment has proven to help build young kids to be ready for the world’s job market as well as boost their self-esteem and develop soft skills. The valuable work opportunity offered through summer work programs has been beneficial for its diverse workplace and the many different industries that have collaborated with summer programs to place kids in jobs of all kinds."
***Should you happen to know of any employers who are looking to hire students please send that information to vtorres@hobart.k12.in.us

The good news is that your training will teach you everything you need to know to succeed on the job. But there are a few skills you should have from the get-go: You’re a fun and friendly person who values customers and takes absolute pride in everything you do. Communication skills are key – you’re not going to be able to text message customers back and forth. In other words, you should be comfortable talking to strangers.

And you’re at least 16 years old.
