The H Street Community Development Corporation continues its long tradition–22 years running–of providing a paid program to local high school students.  This year’s program, entitled “The China Challenge III:  Preparing DC Youth for careers in the Global Economy,” provides a 7-week paid learning experience to qualified students.  Students will work 25 hours a week for $7.25/hour at the H Street CDC Training Center in NE.  Rather than performing make-work, as in many summer jobs, students will be preparing themselves to compete in a diverse world marketplace where China is a major player.
