SPOTLIGHT ON SUMMER YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM | Jimmie Hamilton pauses for a quick smile during his Osage Nation Summer Youth Employment job at Miears Tire Shop. Located in Hominy, Miears Tire Shop is one of many businesses hosting Osage summer youth workers who receive on-the-job training to support their professional development. Hamilton graduated from Hominy High School in 2023 and went on to complete certification in Electrical Trades at Central Tech in Drumright. This is Hamilton’s second time participating in the Osage Nation Summer Youth Employment. “This program gave me direction in my career training related to electrical trades,” says Hamilton. “My certification will help get me closer to becoming a professional journeyman.” The Osage Nation Summer Youth Employment Program helps Native American youth ages 16 to 21 gain work experience and become more marketable in different fields. The program benefits both the young individuals and the businesses they work with, promoting economic and social development. Participants are paid through the Financial Assistance Department.
