Money Available for youth jobs in Citrus and Levy Counties
Job sites are critically needed in Citrus and Levy Counties to host area
youth for Recovery Act funded 2009 Summer Youth Employment Program.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Recovery Act,
provides $918,869 for youth, ages 14 to 24, for summer job training programs in Cit-
rus, Levy and Marion Counties. Marion County job sites have been secured, but Levy
and Citrus Counties companies are still needed to host the Recovery Act funded jobs.
This is a chance for businesses to prepare the future workforce at no expense to their company.
Area youth, age 17 to 24, have a chance to explore careers in a variety of industries while busi-
nesses, including for-profit, non-profit and governmental agencies, provide a pipeline for the
future workforce. Youth under the age of 17 will participate in non-worksite training programs.
The summer program runs June 22, 2009 to Sept. 30, 2009. Youth are placed for five weeks
at the job site with a 20 hour a week training
