Are you interested in learning while earning? Check out our Workforce Opportunity Innovation Act Program!
Darren went through our WIOA Young Adult job readiness training called "Career Edge for Success." After completing the training, he was placed in a work experience program as a full-time production worker for our employer partner, TieTek, in Marshall, earning $12.50/hour.
This week, Darren received his first paycheck!
The work experience program allows young adults to learn soft skills while working for employers in the community for 300 hours. Many of our youth are even hired directly within the company following their work experience. In addition, young adults can also receive assistance with educational training to pursue their career goals and much more!
Darren is also pursuing his educational goal of obtaining his GED.
If you are 16-24 years of age, call 903-500-7133 to connect with the Young Adult Program today.
