Sandusky County youth ages 18 to 21 who have been difficulties in entering or maintaining jobs in the present employment market could be eligible for services through the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 program called Success for Youth.

This program does not require any registration and interested members of the youth community can attend one of the informational sessions at the Job Store, which began this week and will end on July 22.

From Thenews-messenger.com:

The Success for Youth program assists young adults with job-searching skills, career exploration/development, occupational skills training, supportive services and several other elements designed to move youth toward self-sufficiency and employment success. To qualify for the program, youth must meet WIA eligibility criteria including age and income requirements.

The Workforce Investment Act was enacted into law in August 1998 to replace the workforce development program of the time with a system that brought businesses on board as a partner in the delivery of local services. WIA funds several programs locally including the Job Store and services for adults and dislocated workers and youth services. All of these programs can be accessed by visiting the Job Store at 2511 Countryside Drive in Fremont.

The Success for Youth program is operated by EHOVE Adult Career Center.

“People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.” – Douglas MacArthur
