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. Sam Rohrer (R-Berks).

“These jobs allow students to earn some good money while they help to build and repair Pennsylvania’s vital infrastructure,” Rohrer said.  “This benefit’s the student’s individual future and the future of the Commonwealth at large.” 

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.
