Are you looking for summer work?  With more than $3 million in stimulus funds under the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act, WORKFORCE CENTRAL FLORIDA (WCF) has created the Summer Job Connection, a program that will provide valuable work experience for 1,200 young adults in local jobs starting June 22.  Participants will earn $8 an hour and work up to 35 hours a week in one of two tracks, either a six-week track or a 28-week track for about 100 out-of-school young adults who will work in targeted industries.

WCF is searching for young adults ages 16-24 who live in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake and Sumter Counties who are economically disadvantaged.  Participants must be 16 years old by June 22, 2009 to qualify.  Interested individuals must visit www.WorkforceCentralFlorida.com/SummerWork and complete the online application (no hard copy applications will be accepted).  Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
