Summer Jobs for Teens

Summer Jobs for Teens 

 

Employ Florida Marketplace allows job-seekers to customize their job searches. The advanced search allows you to add criteria such as Summer Youth, Internship, or On the Job Training to narrow your focus.

  

Teens can use Florida Electronic Library's (FEL) Career Transitions to search for different types of jobs, create a résumé, write a cover letter, and prepare for interviews with an interview simulation. 

  

Traditional job boards like CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com also feature advanced searches that allow teens to narrow their search to Part-time or Seasonal listings.

  

Teens can find additional job listings on the employment pages of the state's  college and university websites or on local Craigslist sites.
 

Regional Workforce Boards also offer youth employment and training programs through the local One-Stop Career Centers.

Florida Ready to Work is an employee credentialing program that tests and scores job skills. Earning the Ready to Work Credential can help a teen highlight his or her skills and initiative and stand out from other applicants.

Pathways for Students and Recent Graduates to Federal Careers is a new program designed to provide students from high school to graduate level with opportunities to work in Federal agencies while still in school and while getting paid for the work performed.
