The Grand Junction Chamber, the Mesa County Workforce Center and Hilltop Community Resources have partnered to engage young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 in the world of work through internships at area businesses.
The program will match young adults with employers willing to mentor and develop skills these young adults need to be competitive in their industry. These internships are 100% funded for a predetermined duration, eliminating business’s direct labor and workers’ compensation costs. Businesses will participate in the selection process of job ready participants and will have the final say on which young adult they will accept into their establishments.
Our goal is to have 60 businesses and 60 youth matched by the end of February.
Interested businesses can contact Terri Smatla at the Chamber ([email protected] or (970) 263-2916) and/or Garrett Morrison at (970) 244-0609. Young adults can apply at the Mesa County Workforce Center, 512 29 ½ Rd, Grand Junction CO.
