Matawan High School Students Searching For Holiday Jobs

ABERDEEN, NJ — On Monday, Aberdeen Township’s Economic Business Council and Matawan Regional High School announced a partnership that connects local students with seasonal jobs.

The program is called the Holiday Employment Program: Junior and senior high school students at Matawan Regional will have the opportunity to work on a part-time basis, with the possibility of working full time, during winter break.

“With the holiday season approaching, we hope this program will help our local businesses that are struggling to find employees while connecting students to meaningful employment,” said Carmine Visone, chair of the Economic Business Council.

Local businesses interested in participating should email mrhsinfo@mrs.org with all relevant information about what kinds of jobs they need to fill.

The email is monitored by school officials and jobs will be filtered to students according to the requested area of work.

“This program will help benefit students financially, and at the same time benefit members of our business community who are seeking additional employees,” said Aberdeen Mayor Fred Tagliarini. “We strongly encourage our businesses to participate.”
