Work Time

Links to different summer research websites are on the Platform lesson’s Google Doc.

For employment opportunities, search for jobs that only require a high school education. For example, “cashier” or “sales associate.”

For summer college opportunities, do not be discouraged by the costs associated. Most of these programs will also offer scholarship applications to cover the cost.

This research is NOT easy but it will help you understand the process that adults go through to find opportunities for themselves.
