Follow-Up on Summer Youth Job Fair

Posted by The Dean of Cincinnati

On May 18th, we published this media release from the Mayor’s office, which generated some questions about the Summer Youth Job Fair’s employment results.

Yesterday, I spoke with Jason Barron at the Mayor’s office to get more details.

According to Barron, the point of the Summer Job Fair is to bring together youth with potential employers—and the Mayor felt he could use his position to spotlight that effort.  Barron did admit it was a bit late in the year, but he says this is Mallory’s first attempt at working on a Summer Job Fair.

Currently, between 20 and 30 employers have signed up to participate in the fair, with the Mayor’s goal being at least 40.

In addition to linking youth with Summer jobs, Barron says the Fair will include resources for those not “job ready” to receive additional training through area non-profits.

Barron did not know how many of these Summer jobs would be offered through the City.  He also did not know how many jobs would be offered as a whole, nor was he aware of a mechanism in place to count the number of kids who apply compared to the number of positions available.  Barron suggested I contact the Youth Zone to find out those details, but he did not have a contact name to share.

    Great follow-up, but a very scary update.  Anyone can call for a job fair. Good goverment is about producing results, tracking them, and improving them for next year.  It’s about management.  Other cities have incredibly impressive summer job programs for youth.  They get thousands involved, track results, etc. The idea that they don’t seem to know even the basics about this is worrisome (it seems they don’t even know about the current programs the City is already operating).

    Keep a close eye on this stuff.  Government is about more than spin and good intentions.

    Please forward any relevent details about some of these other cities and the specific job programs for youth to which you refer.

    Thanks!
