Needed: Inspectors Under Age 21
Great opportunity for those interested in:
Public Health Government
Law Enforcement Pre-Law
Earning Money Gaining work experience
Inspectors under age 21 (the legal purchase age) ensure stores are not selling tobacco and vape products to anyone underage.
How? They try to buy cigarettes or vaping products.
These "compliance checks" are under the supervision of a Public Health Inspector.
Safety is of great importance: compliance checks are not performed at locations where underage inspectors are known or where they do not feel secure.
Great Employment Experience Must Be Under 21 Years of Age Part-time Flexible Scheduling Training Provided
Hourly Rate $25.00 No Car Necessary
Additional Information: Underage inspectors have played a critical role in the success of the Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act (ATUPA) program. The ATUPA program has been running since 1997 with youth inspectors conducting over 20,000 inspections of licensed tobacco outlets across New York State under the supervision of Public Health Inspectors.
Compliance checks involve individuals under age 21 attempting to purchase tobacco or vape products to see whether stores are following the law.
Underage inspectors are not expected to deceive the retailer in any way.
Underage inspectors are supervised by a Public Health Inspector.
Underage inspectors do not present ID and will not conduct checks at locations where they may be known.
Travel is provided to the compliance checks by the Public Health Inspector.
Inspections may occur anywhere within Albany County.
Since this program began, nearly 95% of retail outlets are now in complaince (meaning they will not sell to anyone under age 21). Becoming an underage inspector is a great professional opportunity and stands out on a resume!

We would like to introduce a program that Schenectady ARC offers to high school graduates interested in a career in the health care/human service field. Experience as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) is a great springboard for a wide range of career avenues.
Schenectady ARC has developed; in partnership with NYS Department of Labor and SUNY Schenectady; a program called College for Me. In a nutshell, the College for Me program allows people to work full time as a DSP Apprentice with Schenectady ARC and attend SUNY Schenectady in the DSP certificate program. Up to $5,000 of the tuition cost is free to the student. For most people, this allows them to complete the equivalent of 1 year of college for free. Unlike many other certificate programs, all courses are true college credit and can be applied towards many AAS and BA/BS degrees. A summary of the program’s curriculum and a flyer about the program are attached. Minimum requirements to apply to the program are a high school diploma, and a valid NYS drivers’ license is preferred.
This could be a great opportunity for some upcoming 2023 graduates who plan to stay local as you begin college or who are unsure of how you can afford college tuition. We would love to be part of your future.

Partnering with the NYS Building & Construction Trades Council, WDI (Workforce Development Institute) has developed a Statewide Pre-Apprentice Program with the primary focus to assist the current local apprenticeship readiness programs and where needed develop new programs. This partnership represents the union construction industry’s training and workforce development outreach to underserved communities throughout the state, with an emphasis on women and people of color.
Standardized training using the approved NABTU – North America Building Trades Union – MC3 curriculum and certified instructors is one of the “best practices” that will be shared across the state though the Statewide Pre-Apprentice Program (SPAP). The MC3 curriculum is continuously updated and encourages local support and input to continue to be relevant.
Entry and completion of the SPAP has been proven to be a successful way to provide entry into the NYS Registered Apprentice Programs and provide a pathway towards the middle class for underserved communities.
