Whiz Teens Business Center: summer jobs, small businesses for teenagers

Please note that this site is for teenagers of 13 and older

Unemployment for 16-to-19-year-olds hit 21.7% in March 2009, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Teens will need to create their jobs! This coming summer, young people will find themselves competing with experienced adults for summer jobs. This will not make it easy for teenagers to find work, because jobless people are getting so desperate, they will take any job, even those way below their skill set. So what are teenagers to do?

One advantage you have over the older workers is that you are creative, innovative and in touch with new trends. This means that you have the ability to identify opportunities that older people might not see. So, why not prepare right now to create your own job? It is not hard to do when you know what to do. The key is to prepare, plan and act.

If you haven't had the time nor opportunity to prepare and don't have a summer job, we have one for you!

A business can also be started not just for the summer, but as a core project during the time your are studying, and then grow form there into a full-time endeavor. Many large corporations have been started that way. See the Success Stories for some examples.
