The Chicago Park District is spotlighting summer employment opportunities as part of a new marketing campaign featuring the Lifeguard, Recreation Leader and Junior Laborer job openings available for qualified candidates, ages 16 and older, to apply now at www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/summer-jobs. The campaign, entitled “Your Perfect Summer Job,” targets students on spring break, and encourages them to learn about the unique, exciting summer jobs that they can secure today. The District’s summer jobs offer competitive wages, life-skill building opportunities, flexible work schedules and pathways to careers and full-time employment. Even more attractive is the unique opportunity to work indoors and outdoors, depending on the position, and to have summer nights off. In addition, making it possible to apply for summer jobs in the spring will help the District better assess recruitment strategies, and address workforce needs prior to pivotal summer dates. The Park District is hosting Teen Opportunity Fairs to match potential employees with job opportunities. At the fairs, candidates will be able to connect in-person with District staff available to answer questions about the openings and the application process. The next event is scheduled for Saturday, March 25 at Malcolm X College, 1900 W. Jackson Blvd., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information about the Teen Opportunity Fairs, visit www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/teen-opportunity-fairs.
