High school graduates often have to choose between making a large financial investment to pursue a college degree, or joining the workforce directly after high school for possibly lower wages.
This problem is significantly more challenging for under-served or under-resourced youth.
Yearly, participants of the Teens 2 Trades program will have the opportunity to receive a full ride scholarship to a 4 year workforce development program of their choice offered by the College of Western Idaho. Special consideration is made to admit under-resourced youth.
By developing a "line of sight" plan leading to a meaningful career path within the trades.
By educating youth on the prestige, variety, and financial opportunity a trades career offers.
By providing the means to obtain A Journeyman Certificate, which has the potential to double their salary within the trades.
