About the Program!The Public Works Summer Employment Program positions are distinguished from regular Kitsap County classified positions by the temporary work assignment and training provided to the participants. The training provided for up to four summers allows participants to progress from entry level to more skilled duties and responsibilities, depending upon assignment, years of participation and training progress. Work is performed under immediate supervision and the participants are expected to learn tasks and to carry out assignments as directed. An evaluation completed by the worker's supervisor assists with determining  eligibility to continue to return for summer employment in the following years. The summer worker is evaluated on: ability to work without constant supervision, willingness to perform assigned tasks, punctuality and dependability, self-motivation, safety habits, ability to get along with co-workers and supervisors, and contribution to the County program assigned.*What to expect: *
