El Paso, Texas – Workforce Solutions Borderplex, the non-profit organization dedicated to employment, education and economic development, launched this year’s El Paso Summer Youth Employment Program (EPSYEP) today. The program provides temporary summer employment for young people between the ages of 16-24. Through a matching system with public and private entities, youth are placed into jobs that correlate with their specific skill sets, interests, and abilities. Eligible youth must meet income requirements and have a barrier to employment.
“Workforce Solutions has had great success with EPSYEP in the past. This year, we modified the program to elevate its importance and expand the pool of employers who are willing to make a difference in the career paths of young people in El Paso,” said Joyce Wilson, CEO of Workforce Solutions Borderplex. “We applaud the City, County and both the Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce and the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for committing jobs this year.”
Registration begins today and runs through May 23rd. Pre-registration applications for youth and employer pledge forms can be found online. For more information about EPSYEP, please visit www.borderplexjobs.com/HireEPYouth/ or call (915) 887-2000.
