This summer, the City of Clairton partnered with the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and Clairton High School's transition coordinator to participate in a program called "My Work Initiative."
"My Work Initiative," Participants |
Students were given the opportunity to receive on-the-job training and earn a steady wage by working in the community. Howard Bednar, the city manager/finance director, who oversaw the project, said, "Overall, this has been the best summer crew that we've ever had." Dallas Nelson also helped to oversee the student workers and was a large part of the program's success.
All parties involved feel that this program was a huge success. We look forward to finding ways to continue a positive partnership and build relationships that allow students to learn vocational skills and also take pride in their community.
