With the goal of increasing youth and young adults’ abilities, Seattle Government has brought an incredible Seattle Youth Employment Program for 2021.
The SYEP is committed to providing help to young people from low-income households and communities that experience racial, social, and economic disparities. It is a combination of a school-year exploration and learning experience, and a summer internship.
Throughout both components of this program, the intern will gain marketable skills and experience, be exposed to various career fields, build a social network and boost their resumes. Each participant will be paid a competitive pay of $16.39 for up to over six weeks of work.
The summer internship will run from July through August 2021 and the 2021/2021 school-year program will start in October 2021. SYEP is only for those individuals who live within the Seattle city limits.
