Caught Doing Good
CTE Director Shameka Montgomery and Parkview Principal James Castleberry say Gladys Godley, who spearheads Parkview's Jobs for Arkansas Graduates (JAG) program, is the perfect employee to highlight for going above and beyond this week. Principal Castleberry raves that she is constantly providing opportunities for Parkview students. She recently brought a relationship with Walmart into the school which she anticipates will result in around 30 job opportunities for students. Thank you so much, Ms. Godley, for all you do!
City of Little Rock Summer Youth Employment Program
City Taking Applications for Summer Youth Employment Program; Youth, Employers Must Apply by Friday for Job Fair Vetting Next Week
LITTLE ROCK – The City of Little Rock Department of Community Programs announced on Tuesday that the application process is open for the Summer Youth Employment Job Fair slated for Thursday, May 27.
Little Rock residents ages 16-21 need to visit the City employment page at LittleRock.gov to apply by this Friday, May 21. Applicants will be screened and interviewed at the job fair by participating employers.
Potential employers that would like to participate must email dcpinfo@littlerock.gov by Friday May 21 to register for the job fair.
“Because of the coronavirus pandemic, we weren’t able to hire young people during the Summer Youth Employment Program in 2020 and we were uncertain if restrictions would lift and allow us to have the program this year,” said Department of Community Programs Director Dana Dossett. “With many businesses having trouble hiring now that pandemic restrictions are lifted, we wanted to launch as quickly as possible to help match employers and potential employees.”
