SLAC Youth Opportunity ProgramThank you for your interest in the Youth Opportunity Summer Employment Program at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) What is YOP? The SLAC Youth Opportunity Program is a 10-week employment program (from June 22 to August 31) designed primarily to provide supplementary income, and also to give entry-level students exposure to the work place while allowing them the opportunity to enhance their job skills. Students between the ages of 16-22 whose total family income does not exceed a predetermined amount may apply. Since these jobs are full time, we are not able to accommodate students enrolled in summer school or other activities. What kinds of positions are available? In the past, the positions have included unskilled labor, data entry, light industrial, maintenance and clerical positions (U.S. safety requirements limit 16 and 17 year olds to work in an office-type environment). What is the selection process? The applicants that apply early and meet the financial requirements will be given preference. You will be contacted directly by the SLAC Employment Services Office. To be considered for this special program, please email a request to Diedre Webb (dee@slac.stanford.edu) ; or call 650/926-4744 for an application. |
