The Paid Work Experience Program can provide businesses, government agencies and non-profit organizations additional help for 20 to 30 hours per week. A Paid Work Experience worker provides help in carrying out tasks that would normally be performed by paid employees if there were sufficient resources to pay for the work.
The worksite will place the participant on their payroll and meet all federal, state and local health, supervision and safety requirements.
Bradford County Action will place the worker at a worksite that contributes most to their employment goal.
