Paid summer jobs for Key West High School students with the City of Key West now available through A Positive Step of Monroe County’s 2021 “Idle Hands Summer Youth Employment Program”
A Positive Step of Monroe County’s 2021 “Idle Hands Summer Youth Employment Program,” which matches Key West High School students with City of Key West summer jobs, is set to begin on June 21.
Twenty-five to thirty students will be accepted into the program and will participate in a two-week-long job readiness training program held at the high school Monday through Friday, 10:00am-2:00pm, beginning June 21. Lunch will be provided in the school cafeteria. Each student will receive a $50 stipend for the first week of the job readiness program and $75 for the second week.
The summer jobs with the City of Key West begin on July 6 and pay $12 per hour for a 20-25 hour workweek. Possible job positions include City administrative assistant, community service, fleet maintenance, and media department positions, among others. The program is open to KWHS students aged 16-18, with the exception of those graduating (or going to summer school in order to graduate) in 2021. Bus passes will be provided for students attending the two-week orientation. Students must provide their own transportation to work.
Interested students can contact APSMC founder/executive director Billy Davis at 305-304-1969 or [email protected].
