Success Stories

"I'm glad I came here because they're going to help me get a job."

Marcio

Marcio wants a good job with good benefits.

All he had to do was work with his VRC at VESID, his TLC at Forest Hills High School and follow the Steps to Success to get a placement at YAI, a vocational training program.

Marcio met three other kids just like himself.  During class they work with each other to practice the skills they'll need to land the job they want. He attends classes at YAI 5 days a week and then will go to an internship for on the job training. A job developer at YAI will help Marcio find a job when he completes his internship.
