For the first time in its 16-year history, the City of Milwaukee was forced to cancel a component of the Earn and Learn Jobs program because of COVID-19 concerns.

The Summer Youth Internship Program would have placed 110 interns in various roles in city government this summer. Interns, ages 16 to 19, were set to work 20 hours per week at $11.52 an hour for eight weeks. It’s one of three components of the overall Earn and Learn.

Summerfest and the Wisconsin State Fair have also been canceled for the first time in their histories. These employers provided jobs to hundreds, if not thousands of young people.

Thanks to the pandemic, youth and young adults face limited employment and internship options this summer.

But don’t give up.

There are some internships available, and employers are still hiring as our city continues to loosen up COVID-19 restrictions.

Here are a few:

Who: Target

What: Cashier

Where: 3900 N. 124th St., Wauwatosa (On a bus line)

Apply here.


Who: Cream City YouthBuild

What: Occupational skills training in construction careers for ages 16 to 24. Must meet certain criteria to apply.

Where: Employ Milwaukee, 2342 N. 27th St


Who: Trader Joe’s

What: Crew member,  $12–$14 per hour

Where: 5600 N. Port Washington Rd.

Apply here.


Who: TJX Companies

What: Merchandise associate

Where: Marshalls  3557 South 27th St.

Apply here.



 

Resources are a click away

While it can be frustrating to seek employment, especially as a young person, there are resources available to assist you.

Use your Milwaukee Public Library system to take online enrichment classes. The library also offers a teen job resource section with information on how to prepare for an interview, how to create a resume, how to write a cover letter and other job search tips. Click here for more information.

Need your driver’s permit? Take classes virtually through the Milwaukee Urban League.

You must be 18 to enroll in this program and meet other criteria. Click here for more information.

The next session takes place from 11 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. July 2.  Check out this flyer for more information. You can contact  Darnell Lathan at dlathan@tmul.org to see if you qualify.

About this column: I will share stories of those who have taken a nontraditional approach to employment or an unusual career path. I will also list employment information such as job fairs, resource fairs and job training events. I encourage community organizations to email me at damiacausey@milwaukeenns.org with career information.
