Thanks for the post Ramona! Many people will take from the resources you have shared.

I had a great experience working through SYEP this summer! After submitting my application, I was offered a job through SYEP. When you get the acceptance, your worksite provider supports you and guides you, helping you to find a worksite. There are many opportunities available. I must say, I was selective of choosing a college as my worksite provider. I was very pleased. I was hired as a marketing intern at my worksite and have learned so much about a field that will stretch me in my career path. I definetly would apply to SYEP again!
