White House announces summer jobs initiative

[RockX]

President Barack Obama is looking to boost summer job prospects for kids.

The White House says that with help from the private sector it's gotten commitments for nearly 180,000 youth employment opportunities for next summer and is aiming for tens of thousands more.


Obama says that with young people facing record unemployment the government must do everything it can to make sure they have opportunities to learn skills and a work ethic.


The summer jobs plan is to be announced Thursday. It's the administration's latest "We Can't Wait" initiative to go around Congress. Many of the positions would be unpaid training opportunities.

Just what every kid wants to do, work during the summer for FREE.

This dumb fuck in the White House should be flipping burgers at a McDonalds. He's never worked for a corporation or a business in his life. He's lived in a damn academic buble his entire life.

for some, free training is great experience and opens many doors. i wouldn't bash it. i never had to, but i know many who took free internships in order to get their foot in the door and gain experience.
