(For 16-21 Year Olds)

STEP-UP recruits, trains and places youth, ages 16 - 21, in paid summer jobs with local employers. Last summer, 131 employers hired over 600 Minneapolis youth.

STEP-UP students are competitively selected and complete a rigorous work readiness training program certified by the Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce.

STEP-UP is a summer employment program for diverse, skilled and motivated youth. In its fifth year, STEP-UP is operated by Achieve! Minneapolis, in affiliation with the Minneapolis Mayor and City Council’s youth summer jobs campaign.
