RECRUIT and INVEST in America's Teen Workforce
If
you have ever given any thought to recruiting, hiring and/or investing in America’s
young workforce, we are an ideal national public service.
We prepare teens for the workplace so
companies want to hire, promote, and retain them.
Online
since 2002, Teens4Hire.org has worked to bridge gaps between young workers and
companies facing talent shortages.
With
your support we can continue.
Mission
We
are dedicated to our adult and minor American teens seeking work. And, we are
committed to supplying American entities with a pipeline of “ready to work”
young candidates.
Vision
We
envision a world where American companies, particularly those facing a skills
shortage and/or a growing need for new workers, join with us to influence young
people today, knowing they are their future workforce.
The
Challenge
We
know that companies traditionally do not market openings or career paths to
teens. Let’s change that!
Why?
U.S.
teen participation in the labor force is at an all-time low and hit its lowest
point since 2002 in 2020. Many jobs that
traditionally employed teens have been phased out due to automation, skills
changes, ecommerce, and/or a shift to an ondemand workforce.
Studies
show that people who spend a large share of their young adult years unemployed
have a hard time finding and keeping a job later in life.
What
has remained consistent is 80% of teenagers today want a paying job, a way to
earn money, or a work-based learning experience. Our members say their income is a necessity.
Impact
Over
time, Teens4Hire.org has had millions of visitors; teens, parents, teachers,
counselors, organizations and businesses.
We have connected hundreds of thousands of employers and teens.
Developing
responsibility, good work skills, self-confidence, and the value of money are
some of the rewards that come from employment of this age group.
So
now is the time.
