All employers must abide by the Michigan work requirements. A person under 18 years of age cannot be employed in, about, or in connection with an occupation that is hazardous or injurious to the minor’s health. Young people are resourceful and have a lot to offer. They can research, update social media platforms, file, answer phones, provide good customer service, inventory, attend meetings, document testing methods, compile information, generate new ideas for design development, sell, test prototypes, market, interview other staff throughout the organization and explore career opportunities.
The benefit to your organization is the opportunity to engage our most valuable asset and support the diversity of our workforce pipeline. Remember the goal is to help expand horizons, develop relationships with professional contacts and explore new career opportunities for our youth. These positions can be in-person, virtual or a hybrid of the two.
