CareerSource Tampa Bay Has 400 Summer Jobs For Hillsborough Youth

TAMPA, FL – CareerSource Tampa Bay is inviting Hillsborough County youth ages 16 to 21 to participate in a summer youth employment program. The Young Talent Tampa Bay – Summer Job Connection program will provide part-time paid work experience for up to 400 Hillsborough County youth that meet eligibility requirements.

The Hillsborough County School District and Hillsborough County Commissioner Sandra Murman are partnering with CareerSource Tampa Bay to make the program a success. Murman sits on the CSTB Board. “The School District has committed to filling 100 positions,” said Michael Ramsey from Hillsborough County Public Schools and also sits on the CSTB Board.

The Summer Job Connection program will assist with career exploration, exposure to the world of work and provide extensive essential skills training through online and specialized workshops.
