Mattapan Tech's Summer Youth Program

Mattapan Tech Provides Affordable High Quality Certificate Career Training Programs

Mattapan Tech's Summer Paid Youth Job Training Program - From June 30 To August 12

The Mattapan Tech Youth Summer Job Training Program is designed to help our youth develop IT technical & employability skills and gain work experience. Mattapan Tech helps young people discover high-demand career opportunities by shadowing them with accomplished professionals in many industries. Mattapan Tech's Youth Summer Program also promotes positive youth development and reinforces social values by helping youth to adopt the appropriate behavior necessary for healthy, engaged, and productive lives.

Youth will experience rich opportunities that foster hope, capacity , leadership and resilience. We are convinced that is necessary for children to start developing work skills and work ethics at a very young age to build a more just and equitable society. This is the reason why this year Mattapan Tech will allow youth 14 to 22 years old to participate in the program. Mattapan Tech's strategy includes: modeling, mentoring, practical job training and job coaching.

Mattapan Tech’s Summer Youth Program addresses the problems of youth employment, safer community, economic justice and racial equity. Although the program prioritizes disadvantaged youth residing in areas that are the most affected by systemic racism, the program is open for all youth. Mattapan Tech is an equal opportunity organization.

- Each participant will receive a small allowance of at least $200 a week and not more than $350, depending on the participant’s performance, previous skills, industry and how many hours the participant invests in the program. Paychecks will be handed out directly to the participants; the check amount can vary from week to week at the discretion of the program administrator based on funding availability and attendance.

The program will be available remotely and face-to-face but all participants will be required to meet with their mentor, instructor and job coach for at least 4 hours every day for hands-on training. Participants will meet in smaller groups due to Covid-19 precautions. Youth from 14-17 must have the authorization of their parents to be admitted to the program.

We anticipate having site visits in major and small organizations as the pandemic permits and with the permission of the parents. At Mattapan Tech, we want to make sure that our youth have a safe, pleasant and productive summer. Apply now
