This summer, Roane State Community College is participating in the Obama Administration’s Summer Jobs+ program, which is part of the American Jobs Act.
As part of the program, Roane State will offer free life-skills and work-skills classes to 50 people age 16-24. These classes will include training in money management, conflict resolution, how to apply for a job online, resume writing, and others.
The program has been described as a “call to action for businesses, nonprofits, and government to work together to provide pathways to employment for low-income and disconnected youth in the summer of 2012,” a press release said.
Anyone who is interested in taking these classes is asked to apply by June 15.
