Host Worksite Application
 

The Northwest Workforce Council sponsors youth and young adults (16 -24) at worksites to gain work readiness skills and to explore careers.  As a host worksite you agree to provide meaningful work and the opportunity to explore careers with your company or industry. You gain an worker, whose wage and taxes are paid by the Workforce Council, for up to 32 hours per week and for a duration up to September 30^th, 2009. 

A Summer Jobs Program worker is placed at your site in a job, doing real and productive work. An existing employee may not be displaced to allow the placement of a Summer Jobs worker at your business or organization.  Summer Jobs Programs are intended to increase youth and young adults’ skills and not in any way impair or replace existing employment or employment opportunities. 

Workforce Council staff, in cooperation with the host Worksite Supervisor, will monitor the progress and performance of each Summer Jobs worker.

You benefit by receiving an extra worker(s), at no cost, to assist with your business.  They work at your place of business while the Workforce Council pays all wages (Washington State minimum wage: $8.55/hr) and payroll taxes.

Youth & Young Adults benefit by learning basic workplace skills, gaining work attributes and confidence as part of a team of employees performing real work, learning about career options, and earning a wage.

Communities benefit in the short-term from the work performed at your business or organization and long-term by the development of successful worker(s) with the skills to successfully find and keep employment.

Thank you.  We will contact you within five days of receipt.
