NYS Department of Transportation Summer Youth Program

The NYS Department of Transportation has announced a new summer youth program, aimed at graduating seniors. This will be a paid summer job, with the hopes of appointing them permanently into state service as a Highway Maintenance Worker (HMW) in the fall.

High school graduates must be 18 years old at the time of appointment, and pass a physical/drug test. They will be paid $15.02/hour, for full time work.
