State Office Helping Teens Meet Employers
To help teens find summer jobs, the Orange County office of the state Employment Development Department is matching prospective workers with businesses seeking temporary help.
Students met with potential employers in both the private and public sectors at job fairs over the weekend at several locations across the county.
Organizers said the fairs drew hundreds of teens and more than 100 employers.
Many students seek summer employment as a way to make some spending money. For others, gaining workplace experience is the goal.
“It’s definitely a good idea,” said 16-year-old Randi Freed of Cypress High School, a participant in the weekend event. “I’m in need of a car.”
