MI Works! Youth Employment Opportunity And Free Assistance at Your Worksite

Hello, my name is Don Harrison. My position is Project Manager for the 10 County Northwest Michigan WORKS! “Earn and Learn” Summer Youth Employment Program and the person responsible for developing worksite owner contacts at your organization. I am contacting you today to make you aware of our expanded summer youth work program, which your organization may be qualified to utilize!

Michigan WORKS! is offering two different youth programs this summer, the “Earn and Learn Summer Roving Youth Crew” and the “Individual Work Experience” programs. These programs will be available to approved worksites in your county, from June 15 to August 21, 2009. It is expected that these programs will be very popular across the region!

Should you have an interest in these programs, I would encourage you to review the program particulars, fill out and return the appropriate paperwork, as soon as possible. I look forward to speaking to you about your 2009 projects, summer youth staff requirements and discussing how our “Earn and Learn” programs could be utilized by your organization.

You will find my contact information listed below. Should you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.
