Learn4Life, a network of nonprofit high school dropout recovery programs, believes job skills training needs to start in high school. "We work with students who have fallen so far behind in school that they're unlikely to graduate. We help them get a diploma for free and work with community partners to provide job skills," explained Miguel-Angel Soria, director of career technical education (CTE). "We have teens who a couple years ago wouldn't have thought they could ever graduate, much less be in a job starting at $30,000+ per year."
All Learn4Life students are enrolled in a robust career readiness program, where they explore pathways to their next phase of education, learn basic computing, and master soft skills like interviewing and resume preparation. "We want our students to always be thinking about the endless opportunities after they graduate and inspire them to explore the possibilities," he added.
"We're proud to say that we've been able to rebuild these students' confidence and guide them to their true passion while contributing to a skilled workforce," Soria added. Meet some teens who are finding a passion for school and a potential career in this video.
