Mass. Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development visits MSYEP worksite

Special to The Advocate

The City of Malden recently welcomed Massachusetts Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Lauren Jones for a visit to the Malden Summer Youth Employment Program (MSYEP), recognizing the program’s success in preparing young people for the workforce through meaningful employment opportunities. During the visit, Secretary Jones toured a community worksite and met with participants to hear firsthand about their experiences, the skills they have developed and their career goals. The visit highlighted the impact of youth employment programs in providing valuable workplace experience while strengthening the local community.

MYSEP connects hundreds of young residents each summer with paid positions across municipal departments, nonprofit organizations, schools and local businesses. Through these experiences, participants develop professional skills, build confidence and explore career pathways.

The City of Malden thanks Secretary Jones for recognizing the achievements of its youth and the worksite partners who make the program possible.
