Through
the grant funding of the WIA (Workforce
Investment Act), Career Choices
is able to provide a unique opportunity for youth ages 14 - 21 years
old to "earn while they learn". The program allows youth
to earn incentive payments while they learn and acquire various skills
necessary for employment. These skills include job seeking skills,
personal career and educational guidance, job skill inventories and
assesments and job readiness skills. Furthermore, the program offers
youth a chance to develop friendships, grow in the areas of leadership,
citizenship and self-esteem. The program is based on the young person's
need and their belief that young people can make life choices given
the proper information and appropriate guidance. By doing this, Career
Choices can better prepare youth for their future! |

The youth
program is a year-round program that targets both in and out of
school youth. It targets the young person's assets through a series
of assesments including basic skills, occupational skills, interest,
aptitudes, supportive needs and developmental needs. Based on these
results, a customer's driven employment plans are then developed.
The individual employment plan includes long and short-term employment
and educational goals, established by the youth and his/her career
consultant.
Enrollment
into the Career Choices Youth Program is based on family income
eligibility guidelines. This is determined by using the LLLIS
(Lower Level Living
Income Standard) for the given
residence of youth. Career Choices Incorporated does asses each
youth for their suitability of enrollment into the program.
