Post Category - SummerSummerLooking for the perfect summer internship or job that helps your teen learn and grow? We’ve got you covered.
Getting a summer internship or job as a teen is often the first rite of passage into independence as well as a humble induction into the adult and the working world. Not only does part-time work provide spending money for your teen, but it also teaches them valuable lessons about budgeting, time management, hard work, discipline and more. For those teens that are at university (or starting to think about uni), summer internships can provide valuable work experience to give teens a head start on their focused and desired careers. Need help finding the right part-time job or summer internship for your teen? Here are a few great places to get you started.
