Young people in Pennsylvania are eager to build their futures. They’re ready to work and gain independence. Many already have interests, talents, and strong motivation. They just need opportunities and support to take that next step. That’s where Earn & Learn comes in!
Many young people are ready to gain work experience but may not know where to start or may face real-life barriers. Earn & Learn helps youth work through those barriers with ongoing support and guidance. This help can include securing documents or clearances, work uniforms, and transportation. Obstacles are a part of the process, but participants do not have to navigate them alone.
Earn & Learn is more than a part-time job. Earn & Learn helps young people ages 14-18 in Dauphin and Lebanon counties build confidence and develop job skills. Plus, participants get paid for their work! This helps to improve a young person’s future career success. It also builds economic vitality for the region.
Each participant works with a Career Navigator. The Career Navigator helps them explore their interests and set goals. Participants also learn career skills and money management to prepare for the future. They get to choose from opportunities in several of the region’s leading industries, including IT, manufacturing, and healthcare.
Young people interested in Earn & Learn are encouraged to bring an open mind and readiness to grow. This is the perfect opportunity for young people to explore their interests.
The Earn & Learn team is willing and eager to guide young people on their journey, cheering them on the entire time. We believe young people are worth the investment!
