Balancing between your studies and a job
Though everyone is affected by the global recession, the teenagers are facing the crunch the most. Most people start hunting for jobs after they complete their education. Some of them ever undertake part time jobs while they are studying. But, seriously, your teenage life will never return and the fun and pleasure you can experience at this age can never be enjoyed later. However, as things stand today, everyone in the family should contribute towards the expenses. If you are not able to attend the weekend parties anymore because of lack of funds, why not try to earn some money.
There are many jobs for teenagers available and one can find the classified sections of the newspapers full of such ads. You just need to be mentally prepared to undertake such jobs. Remember, if you are confident enough, you can even outdo adults. So instead of moaning about your present life, why not start scanning the paper today. Check out the specifications of these jobs and select a few that are suitable for you. You might not know about the special skills you are empowered with.
This is the correct time and opportunity to make use of such skills. The special cookies that only you can bake can easily land you up with a part time job in the pastry shop. They are always on the look for persons who can provide that something special for their cakes and cookies. Have faith in yourself and walk right up to the owner of the shop and tell them about your skills. More often than not, you will be provided with an opportunity to prove yourself and even bag the job. Finding suitable jobs for teens is not tough if you have faith in yourself.

Cast as the modern version of the civilian work corps established during the Great Depression, a new program dubbed the Youth Corps announced yesterday is expected to provide job opportunities for at least 125 “at-risk” youth across Santa Barbara County beginning this fall.
Community leaders hailed the $1.1-million, two-year venture as a way to keep local teens busy and actively contributing to the community.
“As a retired police officer, I can tell you if we don’t keep our children busy, they’ll find other things to do,” said Goleta Mayor Roger Aceves, who is partnering with other city and county leaders to support the program. “I’d rather have them working and defining a career.”
Participants in the Youth Corps will go through an orientation session before being grouped into teams, trained in teamwork and vocational skills, and assigned public service tasks.

Ray McDonald, executive director of the county’s Workforce Investment Board, which received the federal funding for the program, said possible jobs for participating teens could include cleaning up, repairing and restoring public lands and assets damaged during the recent wildfires.
“The Youth Corps is really perfect for that,” he said, adding that those involved might also be given jobs in local parks to supplement work done by public employees.
In addition, McDonald expects the corps to bid on work contracts offered by various local municipalities as the program expands.
“It prepares these kids for longer-term jobs in the building and construction trades,” he said, adding that a large percentage of workers in those industries are expected to retire in the next decade.
Those eligible for the Youth Corps will be between 14 and 21 years of age. McDonald said they must be facing some sort of barrier, such as economic disadvantages, to meet federal guidelines, but added that many teens are expected to qualify.
He sees the work corps as an evolution of prior youth jobs programs that the Workforce Investment Board and other local groups have created in the past. While teens were provided with some job training and experience through those efforts, McDonald said organizers had yet to approach the concept holistically.
“This brings it all together,” he said, emphasizing the constant reinforcement of concepts such as teamwork and responsibility that will be a major part of the program.
Sue Larson, vice chair of the workforce board, said studies show that for every dollar invested in similar youth work corps across the country, the community receives $1.60 worth of tangible work.
She noted that similar efforts have proved successful during the 1930s and in the 1970s.
“I know it will work here in Santa Barbara County,” Larson said.
Organizers also plan to partner with Santa Barbara City College and Allan Hancock College to combine educational activities with community service projects.
The Community Action Commission, a countywide nonprofit social service agency, will be in charge of heading up the Youth Corps, and leaders presented the organization with the standard ceremonial, oversized check for $1.1 million.
Despite the common misconception that federal stimulus funds are backing the program, organizers said the money came from the Workforce Investment Act. The program is expected to officially launch in October and more information about getting involved is available by calling 681-4431.
County Supervisor Salud Carbajal, who described how city and county leaders came together a year ago to discuss ways to beef up youth jobs programs, talked about his own personal experience in the arena.
“I grew up in a very challenging environment not too far from here called La Colonia in Oxnard,” he said, adding that employment opportunities helped him during those tough times.
“It provides us with self-esteem,” Carbajal said. “It provides us with that worth we are all searching for.”
And while some might label the youth who will take part in the program as “at-risk,” the supervisor phrased it another way.
“They are children reaching out for a better opportunity,” he said, “and I think this will give them those opportunities.

Teens celebrate summer jobs
By Dal Cannady
CLAXTON, GA (WTOC) - Hundreds of teens took part in a graduation long after school ended. They gathered for certificates and a big lunch to wrap up their job experience. They spent the summer working jobs through a summer youth worker program.
The Georgia Department of Labor helped 8,000 teens with jobs statewide this summer. Locally, they teamed with the Heart of Georgia Regional Center and Job Training Unlimited in Appling, Candler, Emanuel, Evans, Jeff Davis, Tattnall, Toombs and Wayne counties.
They used a portion of the federal stimulus package to give employers money for payroll. Job Training covered the workman's comp insurance. In all, it brought $1.5 million to those counties.
"We know how the economy has been. We've had so many parents lose their jobs. These kids have been able to help their family with light bills, buy groceries besides buying cd's or clothes," explained Reba Van Meter of Job Training Unlimited.
The experience also prepared young men and women age 14-24 for the future.
"They've been off the streets, they've had good job training. Some of them have jobs they'll continue after the program because employers like them," she noted.

North Shore job loss slowed by summer job program
By David Liscio / The Daily Item
LYNN - Massachusetts suffered another round of significant job losses during June but the downward slide was buffeted on the North Shore through creation of at least 600 temporary summer jobs for teens.
“All kids need to work and this summer lots of them are having a very hard time finding a job,” said Mary Sarris, executive director of the North Shore Workforce Investment Board. “One of the first things we did this summer was to create 600 jobs for teens, mostly at-risk kids who are eligible for the funding. This is an amazing opportunity to get these kids working at a time when their parents themselves might be out of work. It might allow them to contribute to the household income or at least not be a drain.”
Most of the summer jobs are with private businesses or non-profit organizations, Sarris said.
The state Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development reported Thursday that the unemployment rate in Massachusetts rose to 8.6 percent with 2,300 jobs lost in June.
Despite the losses, the state showed a net job gain of 3,300 over the previous two months.
According to the state labor office, the job gain for May, originally reported as 4,900 was revised to 5,600. The most evident gains occurred in the fields of education, health services, and leisure and hospitality. The largest declines were reported in government and in the construction and manufacturing industries.
Some job categories were particularly hard hit over the past year. For example, unemployment claims among architects and engineers on the North Shore increased by 220 percent from May 2008 to May 2009.
During the same period, claims by company managers increased 130 percent; and by finance and insurance industry employees 104 percent.
The largest increase in actual number of unemployment claimants occurred in management, where during the May-to-May period the total increased from 50,182 to 81,255.
The most recent statistics for Massachusetts show that jobs are down by 106,400 or 3.2 percent from a year ago, according to Alison Harris, a spokeswoman for the labor office.
“Sooner or later we are going to run out of jobs to lose,” said Sarris, noting that government stimulus monies have allowed many North Shore residents to enroll in job-training programs. “These people have vouchers and they enroll in programs like those at North Shore Community College (NSCC) and Salem State College (SSC). There are several programs from truck driver training and certified nurses aid to IT and Web design. These people are wisely spending their time improving their skills and getting ready for the next opportunity to come their way.”
According to Sarris, the regional Workforce Investment Board places 50-70 people in training programs each money. “It's working, but eventually we're going to run out of money,” she said.
Meanwhile, new job-training programs are getting underway at NSCC and SSC where government stimulus funds pay for two training programs linked to the so-called Green Jobs Initiative, building analyst and envelope specialist – jobs that assess such things as weatherization and energy efficiency in building construction or rehabilitation.
At SCC, another program trains students to use GIS technology, much in demand by communities seeking to acquire and assess data on property assessments, draft master plans, examine infrastructure and other physical variables.
The bottom line in terms of the state's labor force overview is as follows: The Massachusetts labor force declined by 9,700 during June, with 23,300 fewer Massachusetts residents employed and 13,600 more unemployed.
At 3,420,200 the labor force is down 3,900 from June 2008.
The national unemployment rate for June was 9.5 percent, compared to 8.6 in Massachusetts.

Jobs For Teens at McDonalds
McDonalds is a great place to get your feet wet with your first taste of gainful employment because the jobs for teens at McDonalds are flexible and bountiful.
One of the main attributes that would make a job for a teen a positive experience is the ability for the employer to work around the schedule of the teen because of their busy life. School takes precedence as well as the need for a social life. A lot of the interaction that the youth of today partake in is twitter, texting, facebook and the like and you can not participate in those activities while working.
You can certainly take out your Blackberry Curve and interact on your breaks but even with all the new technology a teenager needs face to face interaction and that is why McDonalds is a great place to work. The staff understands the time limitations that a teen has and does it's best to work around those limitations.
Given that uniforms are free it does not cost a new employee to get rolling there and that certainly falls into the hands of your typically broker teenager. Food is discounted while you are working there and what teenager is not a fan of the Big Mac?
Most teens would have no interest in the health or life insurance programs that are offered by the fast food giant as their parents usually have that covered but in the event they had a need it is available.
So if you are a teenager with an empty wallet take a peek at the available jobs for teens at McDonalds.
