"The Program of the Hour" <br />Summer Youth Employment and Training <br />We will be able to fund approx. 600 jobs this summer in the three <br />counties we serve. We will be placing disadvantaged youth in jobs <br />in public sector as we always have. And, due to the PIC's imput, <br />we will be using a portion of our federal dollars to benefit private <br />employers who hire disadvantaged youth for the summer. For those <br />employers, the JTC will pay the teenager for the first 250 hours of <br />employment - the employer pays the wages for the rest of the summer. <br />Most of the teenagers are eligible for TJTC which allows employers <br />to save 50-85% of the wages they pay the teenager. With this <br />program, everyone benefits: <br />The teenager: job skills, work habits <br />The employer: fill-in for vacationing personnel <br />short term projects <br />The community: expanded income base <br />sense of pride <br />70 <br />
