Texas Summer Youth Work Program

The youth program is a year round program designed to help at-risk youth
finish their education and to gain and maintain employment. To enter the
program the youth must be low-income and also must have one of the
following barriers:

There are several ways that we can help the youth such as:

Summer Employment Opportunities

Leadership Development Opportunities

Child Care

Transportation Assistance 

Work Clothing

Career Development Training

We may pay for training if the field of choice is on our targeted
occupations list and training provider is approved by North Central
Board.

Incentives may be available i.e. obtaining diploma or GED and retaining
unsubsidized employment.

Tutoring Services

We may also pay for the cost of the GED test.

Omar,

This is the new 2010 Texas Summer Youth Program that is provided by
Workforce Solutions of North Central Texas (Texas Workforce Commission).

This program offers many great opportunites that could help some of our
students during the summer month.  My company participates in this
program and we have had the opportunity to meet some outstanding future
leaders.  

Would you be able to post this and/or send a message thru LeoMail to
extend this opportunity to our students?  This document is in rough form
so please feel free to change the format as you see fit.
