Summer Jobs

We were pleased to bring the SUMMER JOBS PROGRAM back to the Flathead this summer! The Workforce Flathead (WFFH) Summer Jobs Program connects students ages 16-19 to meaningful summer work experiences, complemented by pre-employment essential skills training and summer-long mentorship. Students also have the opportunity to receive free college credit/s and a chance to build business relationships and job/school application references. The summer program helps students to broaden their understanding of the local business landscape, career options, and career pathways.
