Someone gave you an opportunity to begin your work adventure as a high school student. Now, you have a great opportunity to give another young person a summer job or part-time work during the school year and add an energetic, motivated young person to your workforce.
Many employers keep their summer hires on staff part-time during school months.
In addition, they learn to look objectively at the job market by observing the rewards and requirements of various professions and businesses. IHTF is designed to facilitate the transition of high school students to adulthood and the workplace. The program provides students with exposure to the workplace environment including an understanding of work requirements and education and skills needed. Participation in the program inspires students to strive harder scholastically, not only to achieve the grades needed to participate in the program but to attain more advanced educational goals. The program also enables students to convey a positive message of their work experience to their high school peers who may be encouraged to participate.
