Calling Nyack, Piermont Firms For 2019 Youth Employment Program

NYACK, NY — The Rockland County Youth Bureau is seeking employers from the private sector, local government, and not-for-profit agencies to participate in the 2019 Youth Employment Program. Nyack and Piermont employers who hire young people through the program get many benefits.

Those include finding enthusiastic, hard-working employees and being reimbursed 50-100% of their salaries.

In 2018, the Youth Employment Program placed more than 220 young people with employers throughout the county.

According to the Youth Bureau:

When given the opportunity, the young people are rising the occasion and contributing to our county in a meaningful and productive way.

The Youth Employment Program is a way to empower the youth in our county by giving them an opportunity to contribute and make a difference. The applicants are highly motivated young people from the community. They have completed a mandatory 4-week pre-employment training program developed and conducted by the Youth Bureau in conjunction with SUNY Rockland Community College. Organizations that participate have the opportunity to increase work staff at a fraction of the usual cost, while the young people gain knowledge and experience for a successful future.

For more information about becoming an employer through the Youth Employment Program, please contact the Youth Bureau at (845) 364-2929.
