SYWEP is an 8-week summer program serving 73 Camden County residents ages 16–24. Participants are carefully selected through a competitive application and interview process and arrive ready to contribute, learn, and grow.

• Why participate as a work-learn site?
• Access to pre-screened, motivated interns at no wage cost to your organization
• Opportunity to mentor and shape emerging talent
• Build your talent pipeline and community impact
• Strengthen connections with the local workforce system

How it works:

• Interns complete work readiness training during Week 1 (June 29–July 1)
• Interns work at your site for Weeks 2–8 (July 6–August 21)
• Each intern works 20 hours per week on a schedule determined by you
• Interns are paid by the Camden County Workforce Development Board (CCWDB) and covered under their worker’s compensation policy

Employer responsibilities include:

• Providing meaningful, supervised work experience aligned with identified skill areas.
• Completing weekly timesheets with the intern
• Covering any required pre-employment clearances (if applicable)

Important Dates:

• Work-Learn Site Agreement Due: May 8, 2026
• Mandatory Employer Orientation: May 6 or May 12. In-person at Camden County College (Cherry Hill Campus)
