Summer program teaches youth good work habits
On June 9 the local CETA office began the annual Summer Youth Employment Program in Ward County, aiming to teach economically deprived youths aged 14 to 18 good work habits. The program, run since 1974, pays 3.10 dollars an hour for an eight week period, places youths in the public sector, and requires adherence to attendance and conduct standards. Director Doris Richardson notes the effort also encourages schooling through related grants and work study options, with emphasis on placing graduates into further education or trade training. Thirty three youths are currently working under the program.
