Accordingly, teens who want the opportunity, are ready to accept the responsibility, and are committed to enter the workforce or business world are recruited, trained, coached and supported. Teens learn the dynamics of work responsibility and accountability while developing new skills needed in the global marketplace. Corporate exposure, advanced financial education, internships, entrepreneurial development, personal code of conduct, job placement, and ethics are critical components of the program. In addition to evaluating and measuring the program goals, objectives and desired outcomes, each participant is also given a pre- and post-vocational aptitude assessment that measures their skills, abilities, attitude, interests, and achievements.
