Jobs And Education
CurrentJobs and Education - Under my Administration, I will instruct all New York City high schools (public and private) and all local colleges and universities, to include summer work employment programs and internships, as a requirement for high school and college graduations respectively. There was a time when every high school student had to complete two summer employment jobs as a requirement to graduate. Each student had to choose their summer jobs by filling out a form with the city or local businesses, unless they were exempt by reason of current employment. Each student was required to work the summers after completing their 10th grade and 11th grade years, to include, those who were physically or mentally disabled, as the city or local businesses would find modified employment positions for them. Additionally, upon graduation, each student will have accumulated two summers of employment as part of their graduation requirements, and most often the students would return to these jobs and continue employment. During the Summer Employment Programs, many students acquired experience and knowledge and many would even receive apprenticeships and certifications. Each high school student was paid the current minimum wage without benefits and insurance, as the Summer Employment Program is included in their curriculum as graduation requirements. These students will replace the loss of Dreamers, and other illegal and migrants jobs in New York City.
