YOUTH PROGRAMS OUT-OF-SCHOOL This program helps out-of-school youth ages 16-21 to acquire employment so that they can be self-sufficient. They are taught such things as:
JOB CORPS The Bamberg Job Corps Center and the Lower Savannah WIA Youth programs are co-enrolling youth participants. Co-enrollment is when two agencies/programs/funding sources enroll and serve the same individual concurrently or sequentially. The objective of co-enrollment is to broaden the service, and placement support needs. Furthermore, co-enrollment allows the partners to share credit for outcomes. Job Corps is a comprehensive education and training program for disadvantaged youths ages 16-24. The Job Corps program offers students the opportunity to enroll in basic education and GED classes while they receive vocational training in many areas. Job Corps training is self-paced. Job Corps also gives women the skills to be self-sufficient and to be able to make it on their own. Contact your local One-Stop Center for further information and eligibility requirements for any of these programs. |
