Summer Jobs+ 2012Businesses! Non-profits! Government! President Barack Obama has issued a call-to-action to business leaders and communities to join his Administration in Summer Jobs+, a joint initiative to provide hundreds of thousands of summer jobs for low-income and disconnect youth of America. Businesses can accept the President's call-to-action and make a "Pathways Pledge" and provide the experiences and skills America's youth need to enter the work force in at least one of the three pathways.
Summer Jobs+ also includes online tools for youth to find local job opportunities and other valuable resources. Learn more at http://www.dol.gov/summerjobs/. ApprenticeshipApprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training and related instruction in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation. Apprenticeship programs can be sponsored by individual employers, joint employer and labor groups, and/or employer associations. The Department of Labor's role is to safeguard the welfare of apprentices, ensure equality of access to apprenticeship programs, and provide integrated employment and training information to sponsors and the local employment and training community. The Department's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) provides a list of contacts to help you locate apprenticeship opportunities near you. Information is also available by subscribing to DOL's Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer, and Labor Services' (ATELS) e-mail subscription service. DOL Web Pages on This TopicOffice of
