The Summer Youth Job Training Program provides workforce training opportunities for 300 Lexington youth, who are rising 10, 11 and 12th grade high school students, by teaming with Lexington’s business and community-based partners. Youth workers will work part-time, up to a maximum of 20 hours per week, and will earn $10.10 per hour. All youth workers’ salaries are paid by the city government.
The 2020 SYJTP will run for a full six weeks, beginning on June 8 and ending on July 17. Youth workers will be assigned to their worksites by May 15 and will contact the worksite supervisor prior to their start date.
