Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont is encouraging college students home for the holidays to volunteer to help out in public schools that are short of teachers because of COVID-19.
He said they can sign-up for a program called Step Up Connecticut.
“If you go to Step Up Connecticut what you can do there is find if you have a teaching, or social work and or a general love of kids. As a senior in college we may be able to find you paid work at some of our schools,” Lamont said.
Lamont said interested college students can sign up at ct.gov/StepUpCT.
It's a state program that provides wages and training subsidies to employers who hire unemployed jobseekers.
