Internships

The Workforce Investment Council's Summer Youth Academy (SYA) builds connections between Clackamas County youth and local employers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is a growing gap between the emerging workforce, who is gaining their first work experience, and the retiring workers who are prepared to leave the workforce. The SYA helps to bridge that gap by introducing employers to the emerging workforce as well as improving the employability of young workers through soft-skills and technical skills training. The SYA is an eight week program that is comprised of two weeks of training and six weeks of work experience.
