Applicant FAQ

As a result of President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan WorkForce One Employment Solutions (WF1) has received funding to help you get a job this summer. If you are between the ages of 19 and 24 and want to work, please read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below.

Q: How much will I earn and how will I get paid?
A: Youth will be paid $9.00 an hour. Your pay will be deposited to an account at a bank or credit union of your choice. If you do not have a bank account, WF1 recommends that you apply for membership at a City County Credit Union. Separate instructions on how to apply will be provided. You will be paid for the hours recorded on your timesheet. Payments are deposited every two weeks. During training, you will receive a schedule of the deposit weeks.
Q: How do I qualify for a summer job?
A: You must be a Broward County resident between the ages of 19-24, and meet eligibility requirements, including the income of your family. Other eligibility requirements may apply.
Q: Are there other requirements?
A: Yes. All youth invited to participate in the program will be required to attend the SYEP 2010 Training Workshops on June 9, 2009, June 10, 2009 and June 11, 2009. Attendance is mandatory for all three workshops. You will be paid for attendance, and you must attend on each date. These workshops will discuss topics that will help you have a successful summer work experience. To be admitted to the workshop, you must have submitted (to WF1) all of the completed forms that were mailed to you in your SYEP Packet, including a signed Social Security Card and a valid Florida Identification Card or valid Florida Driver’s License. Your packet will include the dates for you to bring all documents to the WF1 office. Depending upon your job assignment, WF1 may need to conduct a background check. If the background check identifies any concerns, WF1 will contact you.
Q: What types of jobs do you have available?
A: In the past, jobs have included clerical, child care assistant, camp counselor, park aide, custodial, game room aide assistant, library page and teacher assistant. WF1 tries to match you with your job preference, and takes into consideration where you live. However, there is no guarantee of where you will be assigned.
