The Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP) provides summer internship opportunities and career preparation to Butler High School students (internships are available for students who will turn 16 on or before April 15, 2025. Qualified students will participate in a full-day career readiness training that will prepare them to successfully obtain the proper skill to become certified in work readiness and be prepared for any future internship or job opportunities. Eligible Juniors and Seniors may be chosen to participate in a summer internship with an MYEP host employer. The following bullets detail elements of MYEP internships:
Internships are generally six (6) weeks in duration (June-August).
Students work 20-25 hours per week (150 hours total), at a minimum rate of $13.00 (or more depending on placement) per hour.
Student interns are monitored closely throughout the summer by the MYEP staff and referral partner liaisons.
In some cases, student interns are able to continue work with the host employer through the school year.
The program has worked over the past three decades to prepare Charlotte's youth for future employment. The program leverages relationships with businesses and community stakeholders to provide meaningful, career-oriented internships for participants.
