Apply to Cambridge Works; Get Paid Job Experience!

Cambridge Works, the City of Cambridge's transitional jobs program, is recruiting! The program serves Cambridge residents between the ages of 18-35 who have difficulty finding full-time jobs due to limited work experience, a gap in their work history, legal challenges, or personal issues. The next cycle of the program will begin in early September 2026.   

To apply to the program, fill out the Cambridge Works online application. 

Cambridge Works provides participants with:

• A 3-month, paid temporary job placement at a local organization
• Professional development classes focused on resume and cover letter writing, interview preparation, financial literacy, communication skills, and goal-setting
• Support from a case manager
• Job search support to find full-time employment
