There are several ways that employers and investors can support the WorkReady Summer system:

Option 1

I would like to financially support summer experiences at $1800/slot:

I can host youth at my worksite I am interested in sponsoring youth but cannot host youth at my worksite I would like to leverage Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC)

Option 2

I would like to host a subsidized experience at my worksite:

This indicates that you cannot financially support a summer work experience, but could host one or more youth at your worksite for the duration of the program. Through a network of providers, the WorkReady program supports subsidy opportunities at small businesses, with 3 to 50 employees, or non-profit organizations. There are limited subsidy opportunities and we will do our best to meet your request, but cannot guarantee that it will be met.

Option 3

I would like to be recognized as part of WorkReady for the summer program that I currently operate
