NYCHA Residents Can Now Apply for Summer Employment in Coney Island
This is the third year the City has held job screenings in Coney Island, and with nearly half of all open positions filled by local residents last year. In winter 2010, the job screenings helped fill the over 200 new positions that were created by the opening of Luna Park, the first new major amusement park in Coney Island in forty years. Last year, over 1,200 job seekers attended three job screenings, helping to fill over 275 full and part-time seasonal positions at Luna Park, the new Scream Zone, and the Cyclone Roller Coaster. The program has further expanded this year, with employers from the boardwalk participating for the first time. Taking part in the City’s hiring efforts this year are Central Amusement International, Sodexo, Nathan’s Famous, Tom’s Restaurant, Paul’s Daughter, Ruby’s, and Brooklyn Beach Shop. All four recruitment events will be held at MCU Park located at 1904 Surf Avenue in Coney Island. The second job screening will be held this Thursday, March 1st from 12 to 6 PM, and the following two recruitment events will take place on Tuesday, April 24th and Thursday, April 26th from 12 to 6 PM.
