We have a story coming up next week about the Oakland Mayor's Summer Jobs Program. It is the main source of funding for subsidized summer jobs for kids in Oakland. The program is rather delayed in getting kicked off this year, and organizations are scrambling to get applications together to get kids through the really extensive application process. But even if they get meet all the requirements, they still might not end up with a job in the end because of our down economy. Many of the kids are competing with adults for these entry-level positions.Are you a teenager or college student facing this dismal job market this summer? Or maybe you are a parent of one?
Call us at 415-264-7106, and share your perspective with us, and we might play your report before our piece airs next week!
