MIT Human Resources is coordinating an important MIT outreach effort with Cambridge youth programs, Just-A-Start, the Office of Workforce Development, and the Cambridge Housing Authority. Students gain an understanding of what it is like to work in a professional environment, explore career interests and build a unique relationship with MIT. 

The relationship between MIT and the Cambridge public high schools is an important one and, as a result, HR is looking to strengthen and expand this relationship by increasing the number of summer employment opportunities. When considering possible opportunities, it is important to identify supportive supervisors who will engage with the students in this educational employment experience, and to consider the work experience and learning opportunity for the student.

Supervisors who have an interest in mentoring and developing a relationship with a Cambridge public high school student are encouraged to learn more about the program and submit a job description.

How it Works

The Summer Youth Employment Program runs annually for six weeks from early July to mid-August. This year the program will run from Monday July 8th through Friday August 16th, 2019. The students work between 20-40 hours per week and earn $12 per hour. The hourly wage is paid for by the department.
