YES Program Coming to NS

During the 2009-2010, school year, high school students will have the opportunity to enroll in YES (Your Employability Skills). The 120-hour program is a semester-long, curriculum-based elective course that teaches students skills such as conflict resolution, goal-setting, writing, interview training, resume writing and job application tips. Students who maintain a 95 percent attendance rate, pass the program's literacy and aptitude tests and pass a drug screening will receive a YES certificate issued by the Northeast PA Manufacturers & Employers Council.
