FAQs for Summer Jobs Employers

I registered last year. Do I need to register again?
Yes.

What kind of jobs can youth do?
Youth can perform basic office duties, food preparation, food services (16+), food pantry stocking and distribution, light maintenance, community gardens, groundskeeping, sports and camp counselors, and a variety of other opportunities that are deemed appropriate by Y.O.U. policy and by Ohio’s Minor Labor Laws.

What information do we need to complete registration?
Basic Organization Information (for main location):

  • Address

  • Phone #

  • Email Address

  • Any other primary contact information

Profile for Each Worksite (if different than primary location)

  • Address

  • Phone #

  • Email Address

Primary Supervisor

  • Y.O.U. will need the name and contact information for the person that will be responsible for the day-to-day supervision of the youth.

  • This person’s name and contact information will be given to the youth participants at the worksite, and the youth will be instructed to call the primary supervisor if they have questions, have to call in sick, or have an emergency.

Alternate Supervisor

  • Y.O.U. will need the name and contact information for the person that will supervise the youth in the absence of the primary supervisor.

Youth Position Title, Duties

  • Specify what position the youth will hold and what duties that youth would be required to perform. Please also state if there are any special skills, requirements or dress code for the position.

Number of Youth Requested

  • Please state the number of youth being requested for the worksite.

What happens after we submit the registration?
A Y.O.U. Employer Relations Specialist will call the Primary Contact listed on the registration form to review your information, to provide additional information about becoming a worksite for the program(s), schedule your worksite supervisor(s) and to set up a time to visit the worksite.

Once we register, are we guaranteed to receive a worker?
No. Y.O.U. will try to meet your employment needs, but Y.O.U. cannot guarantee that youth will be placed at your company.

Employers should not use Y.O.U. employees as a way to fill open, budgeted positions.

How do we know if we have been selected to be a worksite for any of Y.O.U.’s work experience programs?
A Y.O.U. Employer Relations Specialist will contact your Primary Contact to notify you and to set up an orientation date for the worksite’s Primary and Alternative Supervisors if the worksite has been selected.

If you have any additional questions or need assistance with registration email the Employer Relations Team at ERTeam@youthopportunities.org.
