A 135 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Summer Earn and Learn Pilot Program."

This bill establishes a three-year "Summer Earn and Learn Pilot Program" in New Jersey to help students recover from pandemic learning loss while gaining work experience. It provides eligible students (NJ residents enrolled in school with a 3.0+ GPA) with paid summer employment opportunities (at minimum wage) paired with supplemental learning assistance (3+ hours/day, 5 days/week). School districts must apply to participate, and the program will be funded using existing federal pandemic relief funds (CARES, CRRSA, ARP Acts). The Department of Education will develop guidelines, create employer partnerships, and require a two-year evaluation report on the program's effectiveness.
