The series stems from the work of a subcommittee for North Central’s Workforce Development Board’s Youth Committee including staff from Workforce Solutions, the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, the PA CareerLink®, the Community Education Council of Cameron and Elk Counties and the Potter County Education Council.
With so many programs and services available, awareness is key and the goal is to educate parents, teachers, students, etc., of the many resources available to them.
“Get our youth involved with programs and services, training and education, work, and keep our youth, our future, in our region,” states a press release from Workforce Solutions.
The Youth Committee’s purpose is to provide information and to assist with planning, the operational oversight, ensuring intentional collaboration with all things youth and other issues relating to the provision of services to youth.
The region includes the counties of Cameron, Clearfield, Elk, Jefferson, McKean and Potter.
