Huntington Beach, CA July 17, 2003—“Judging by
the overwhelming number of teens to our service, teens are
NOT lazy and unmotivated. Teens want jobs, “says Renee
Ward, founder/executive director of Teens4Hire.org,
a national online Career Center for employers and teens in
the high school and college age groups. “We believe
there are great jobs out there for teens and we want the business
community to take notice”, she adds.
More than 600,000 teen visits have been recorded so far in 2003.
Thousands of ambitious teens with a broad range of interests,
self-motivation and drive, become members everyday in hopes
of landing a full or part time job, internship, apprenticeship
or volunteer position. Others come for career guidance and
exploration.
Teens4Hire.org services are free for teens 14 years of age
and older and available to all US teens that can access the
Internet. The site contains teen profiles (much like resumes)
that employers can review, career awareness information and
a jobs database for teens.
“Teens are looking for work in retail, fast-food/restaurants,
arts, media, entertainment, sports, recreation, health services,
customer service, call center, telemarketing, education, training,
library, computers, financial services, hospitality, science,
office admin and even manual labor, “says Ward.
“For large national organizations with many hiring
locations, Teens4Hire.org now qualifies for 501c3 contributions that beats hanging a hiring sign in the window,”
adds Ward.
If you're looking to bring young adult talent into your company,
you will find eager folks at Teens4Hire.org.
