You are invited to participate in WorkReady Philadelphia’s Summer Internship Orientation!
The Summer Intern Orientation is a kick-off training event for the WorkReady Philadelphia Summer Internship program. The orientation will be filled with information and activities that help youth prepare for work and better develop the skills that promote workplace success. This two-day event will take place June 24 and 30, 2010 at Thomas Jefferson University.
WorkReady Summer Internships provide Philadelphia high school students with paid workplace experiences at area businesses for six weeks during the summer. These internships give young people a taste of the working world, exposure to career opportunities, and an understanding of how school is connected to economic success. The program is an integral component of WorkReady Philadelphia, a broad-based partnership dedicated to building the region’s future workforce.
Over a two-day period, you’ll gain access to an audience of 600 young people (and have an excuse to empty out the giveaways in your supply closet)! Your participation includes brining all/any materials and visual aids (posters, etc.) about your organization that you would like to share with youth. So pack your sunscreen, grab your boarding pass, and get ready for an international adventure!
