WorkForce One Employment Solutions and the Children’s Services Council (CSC) are teaming up to help youth's get a job this summer. If you are between the ages of 16 and 18 and want to work, please read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below.

1. Q: How do I qualify for a summer job?
   A: You must be a Broward County resident between the ages of 16-18, and meet eligibility requirements, including the income of your family. Other eligibility requirements may apply.
   
   
2. 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 scheduled for Saturday, June 12, 2010, Monday, June 14, 2010, and Tuesday, June 15, 2010. 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, students must have submitted (to WorkForce One) all of the completed forms that were mailed to them in their 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 Workforce One office. Depending upon your job assignment, WorkForce One may need to conduct a background check. If the background check identifies any concerns, WorkForce One will contact you immediately.
   
   
3. Q: How much will I earn and how will I get paid?
   A: Youth will be paid $7.25 an hour. Your pay will be deposited into a debit account provided by Bank Atlantic. Each participant will be issued a debit card from Bank Atlantic to withdraw pay. If debit cards are lost, stolen or misplaced, contact your assigned Worksite Monitor and Bank Atlantic immediately. You will receive payment for the hours recorded on your timesheet. Payments are deposited every two weeks. During training, you will receive a schedule of the deposit weeks.
   
   
4. Q: What types of jobs do you have available?
   A: In the past, jobs included child care assistant, camp counselor, park aide, custodial, game room aide assistant, library page and teacher assistant. WorkForce One attempts to match youth with job preference, and takes into account where you live. However, there is no guarantee of where you will be assigned.
