<br />will support youth with job readiness workshops, participation in job fairs, resume preparation, one -on -one job
<br />skills training, career coaching and referrals. All WIA participants will be paid for their "hands -on" job training
<br />in the placement site of their choice at OCCTAC program (e.g. Administrative Assistant, Arts programs,
<br />Learning Academy, etc.). During the last 4- months of the program, WIA participants will transition out of

<br />related to the Information and Technology field, Health related field, and the fields of Education (Science and
<br />Math). As the participants master their basic skills and commit to taking on new challenges, they will emerge
<br />from the program better prepared to accomplish both short and long -term employment goals. The WIA
<br />participants will spend more time in the area of math, technology and health. OCCTAC is utilizing curricula to
