On October 17, 2000, the Board of Supervisors authorized the execution of an Agreement with Jefferson Union High School to provide Year-Round Employment and Training Related services to 92 Out-of-School eligible youth in North County.

On May 21, 2002, the Board authorized a First Amendment to the Agreement to add "Pathways for Success for the In-School Youth" and extended the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2003. The First Amendment also increased the Agreement by $332,372 for a total Agreement obligation of $642,278. |

The extension of the Tools for Success program will enable the school district to serve a minimum of 35 additional Out-of-School Workforce Investment Act (WIA) eligible youth. These youth will receive comprehensive assessment, basic skills acquisition, pre-employment work maturity skills acquisition, mentoring, vocational skills training and jobs. Training may be conducted in the classroom as well as through work experience and time-limited internships. |
