Middlesex
Youth Development Career Services Seeks Area Youth for Career
Development Program with Free Certificate Programs at Local College
(Middlesex
County, CT) The Middlesex Youth Development Career Services program
announced that it is seeking out-of-school area youth aged 16 to 24 for a
program that provides job training, paid internships and certificate
programs for young people. The program is funded by the Community
Renewal Team and supports youth in the process of joining the workforce.
We would like to offer youth choices in certified nursing aid, EMT,
phlebotomy, security guard training, etc.
“There
is tremendous need for this program as it helps out of school youth
receive free access to college classes that prepares them for the
workforce,” said Julie Sapia-Bryant, program manager for the Middlesex
Youth Development Career Services.
To participate youth must meet age and income eligibility requirements and must reside in Middlesex County or Meriden. Students
work with the program coordinator to set specific employment and/or
education goals while in the program. Students will have the opportunity
to participate in a paid work internship while taking classes. Students
of the program are placed into employment after completion of the
certificate program and are exited from the program. They will continue
to receive follow up for a full year after they complete the program.
“We
are excited to begin searching for students to join this valuable
program which allows them to be successful in whatever field they choose
to pursue,” said Sapia-Bryant.
Enrollment
in the program serves 20 Workforce Investment Act youth and the program
occurs on a rolling basis since not all youth will receive technical
training at a community college. Assessments are part of the selective
process and they are critical to match individualized service plans with
individual needs. A test in reading and mathematics is administered as a
pre-test and post-test for those students who did not pass the first
time.
