HIRE HOUSTON YOUTH
Hire Houston Youth offers youth ages 16 to 24 internship and job opportunities at public and private employers in the Houston area. Companies who join Mayor Turner’s Hire Houston Youth commit to providing a local youth with a 7 week summer job or internship experience. Most opportunities will begin June 12, 2017 and end no sooner than August 11, 2017. The minimum required employment length is 7 weeks to ensure youth have a meaningful work experience, however employers are welcome to extend the period to meet their individual needs. After joining Hire Houston Youth, companies will work with HHY staff to specify their employment opportunities, craft job descriptions, and coordinate interview with candidates. If you are interested in participating as an employer, please make your pledge here or contact Kaleb Taylor at kaleb.taylor@houstontx.gov.
Beginning in April, Hire Houston Youth will host various on-the-spot hiring events open to all youth ages 16 and up. No pre-registration required. Past participating employers include McDonald’s, Jack-in-the-Box, Whataburger, Cash America, Corner Store, and Walgreens. If you are interested in participating as an employer, please make your pledge here and indicate you are interested in participating in hiring youth at our on-the-spot hiring events. More detailed information coming soon.
