3、ional summer job. “I want to one day be a pharmacist (药剂师) researcher figuring out how drugs interact with the human body,” he said of his summer work at the institutional pharmacy company. “This internship is an exper ience for the future.” Even as fewer teens seek to work during the summer, some l

The rest, accord

8、e increased competition from older, more experienced applicants, including people in their 20s looking for any kind of work and “retirees who are seeking low-skilled, low-pressure jobs to supplement their retirement income”. Not counted in the dat a are theteens who win internships. While most inter

10、menon was growing even before the Great Recession and has accelerated since. Yet, few can provide any information on the impact of internships, paid or unpaid, on the labor market or the wages and employment prospects of young people.” More and more teenagers are keen on filling their resums with wo
11、rk experience beyond the traditional summer jobs of scooping (用勺舀) ice cream and waiting tables, Challenger said.(E) Riley Drake, a senior, got an unpaid internship last June at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine through family connections.

Baltimore has developed a program to find real-world work experience for city te enagers called Baltimore City Youth Works, which finds paying summer jobs for young people between 14 and 21 in the public and private sectors.The program, which runs from June 25 to August 3, aims to give young people “the chance to put a stamp on what our future workforce will look like,” said Brice Fr
