Grow Detroit’s Young Talent (GDYT) is a citywide summer jobs program that trains and employs young adults between the ages of 14 and 24. This citywide effort gives young adults exposure to the world of work and enhances their educational, work readiness, and leadership skills. This E-Handbook is here to guide you through this summer. It contains all of the information you'll need to have an amazing summer learning experience. 

Each GDYT participant will be assigned to a worksite placement for the summer. Please note that each participant can only have one paid GDYT summer experience. Participants will be under the administration of and paid by either Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation (DESC) or Connect Detroit. Please make sure you know which organization is your program administrator.
