Last week, we were contacted regarding possible youth intern positions at the Seatle Department of Transportation. Several of the 2014 teens were asked to prepare for school-year employment opportunities and get their resumes out of the computers for printing. We were told that 5 positions were opening and to notify as many teens as I could who went through the 2014 project this summer.
We were able to field four teens and four positions were filled with Yesler 2014 teens!!! Word back has it that the training and exposure this summer aided in preparing them for the interviews, as well as provided the ability to have an informed conversation about some of the fundamentals of urban planning and design.
