YOUTH TRAINING PROGRAMS:

 

The Alliance for Business and Training, in cooperation with the Northeast Tennessee Career Centers, Northeast Tennessee Youth Council, and Northeast Tennessee Workforce Investment Board, is accepting proposals for the operation of a training and employment program to serve out-of-school youth.  Out-of-school youth are youth between the ages of 17-21 who are either high school graduates or high school dropouts.  Programs will be funded under the Workforce Investment Act, and training may be offered at either a single location or multiple locations in Carter, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi, and/or Washington Counties.  Program providers will be responsible for recruitment of eligible youth, provision of occupational skills training, and placement of trained youth into unsubsidized employment.
