The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is now accepting applications for 2010 summer employment for students and a limited number of non-students, says Rep. Kerry Benninghoff (R-Centre/Mifflin).

“This is an excellent job opportunity for students looking to earn some money during the summer,” Benninghoff said.  “Every dollar they earn is another dollar they don’t have to borrow to pay for tuition, books and housing.  A quality higher education isn’t cheap and every bit helps.” 

To qualify, student candidates must be 18 years of age and enrolled in college for the fall semester of 2009.  Non-student candidates are not subject to this requirement.

The positions are full-time and last the duration of the summer, some commencing as early as April 1.  Seasonal employees typically enhance regular maintenance crews on maintenance projects throughout Pennsylvania.

There are no positions available in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery or Philadelphia counties.

Applications can be found at www.employment.pa.gov under the “student summer employment” category.  The deadline to apply is the close of business on Friday, Jan. 22.
