Job description

Pathway to Work Internship - Traditional Program – Overview

Program Summary: The Pathway to Work Internship - Traditional Program is designed to provide a meaningful work experience coupled with coursework in job readiness, career exploration, and financial literacy for teen residents primarily between the ages 16-19 at properties owned by The NHP Foundation (NHPF) or its affiliates. The program is supervised and managed by Operation Pathways but works closely with NHPF’s Office of Asset Management and its contracted property management companies.

The interns are employed by the property management companies at the property where they work, and report directly to the resident services coordinator (RSC) assigned to the same. The interns also report to the property manager who will assign their daily work responsibilities. The interns will work 20 hours per week in the property management office either with the maintenance team, the leasing office, or at times the community center depending on the needs of the property. Additionally, the intern will work 4 hours per week with the resident services coordinator receiving coaching, support, and direction on personal and professional development. Their weekly sessions in resident services will consist of coursework in the areas of job readiness, career exploration, goal setting, and financial literacy. This curriculum guide is meant to provide direction to the resident services coordinators in the implementation of 32-hours of lessons in these content areas. This program guide is meant to provide directions to the RSC or their designee in the implementation of this 192-hour professional and experiential work opportunity.

Qualifications: Intern applicants will be selected based on how well they fit the profile of the internship program (see application and interview forms). Interested teens must be residents of the housing community owned by an affiliate of NHPF, have the availability to work for the entire full eight-week program. Additionally, they must have a desire to learn more about career development and housing. Interns must also be currently registered in (or be a recent graduate of) a high school or HiSET/GED program.

In most situations, hiring policies will also require drug testing and a criminal background check. Because the property management company will be the intern’s employer, intern applicants must adhere to the management companies’ standard employment pre-screening procedures.

Finally, all intern applicants must attend an interview with the resident services coordinator, property manager, and OP regional (if necessary). Final selections will be made based upon successful completion of the application process and a determination made by the resident services coordinator, property manager, and OP regional of the likelihood of the applicant’s successful completion of the program.
