This is a temporary class in the Employment and Economic Development Department (EEDD). Under general supervision, incumbents perform a broad scope of technical and responsible program eligibility, placement and casework activities for the Summer Youth Employment and Training Program; and do related or other work as required.

An employee in this class performs outreach, certification, and placement activities; does work site reviews; and maintains a caseload of youth program participants. Incumbents may also facilitate group orientations and worksite monitoring. This class differs from Summer Youth Program Assistant I in that incumbents of that class perform basic technical duties under the close supervision of more experienced staff. This class differs from Summer Youth Program Assistant III in that incumbents of that class utilize additional program experience to exercise greater independent judgment, work on special projects and make limited referrals for services outside of the summer youth work experience program.
