Newark’s Summer Youth Employment Program Offers Hands-on Skills
Almost 3,000 students in Newark are participating in various work programs as part of the city’s summer youth employment program, which offers students aged 14 to 24 access to several apprenticeships.
At Barringer High School, one program focuses on carpentry training while contributing to the city’s mission to keep kids safe and out of trouble.
“The events, locations, and memories I have already experienced at Barringer High School will always stick with me along with the bonds that have been forged from sweat and hard work,” said Micah Charles, a summer youth employment participant.
