Governor’s Summer Job Hunt program launches website for teens

Young people can find information, tools and resources at the Governor’s Summer Job Hunt program’s new website — http://www.colorado.gov/gsjh.

The recently launched website offers information on job fairs, how to locate businesses that are hiring, how to write a great resume and make a great impression in a job interview. It is also a resource for parents who want to ensure their high school and college students have a safe and successful summer job experience.

“A part-time job provides valuable training to students, preparing them for the challenges they will face in the years ahead,” Gov. Hickenlooper said in a press release. “It adds a unique companion piece to classroom learning. Workplace experience teaches young people the value of commitment, about gaining confidence and working with others.”

Teens can also get help finding summer jobs free of charge at state and county-run employment offices called Workforce Centers.
