MYCA program aids trauma-affected youths with GED and college credits
Marcum describes dual enrollment options allowing cadets to earn up to 21 college credits while ages 16 to 18. The Michigan Job Challenge Academy at Ft. Custer offers a college like experience with GED, CNA and trades, housing, meals, and a placement coordinator. Cadets face trauma, limited cell use, and family support is crucial as many graduate with high school certificates and sometimes welding skills but limited immediate job options until they are 18.
