Got a couple...
of at risk young folks we work with, one 18, one 21. They have been
pounding the pavement here for almost a month, one has put more than 30 personal stops and restops to places that "might" be hiring and who knows how many on line applications. There is just nothing out there now the pres is gonna' give 11 million new illegals the right to compete for the ones that are there? Oh, and the 18 year old just found out his license appt has been pushed back 60 days as they are expecting a flood of illegals at DMV here in CT... This is crazy... |

Do they have any skills that could lead to employment? |

I don't know about the Drivers thing Scott but the local economy in my area sucks. A friend of mine is trying to support a family of 5 while working part time in an auto parts store. He was full time till they started cutting hours. He's been looking for other emoyment for the last 6 months but nothing for him in the area. He's a good mechanic too and takes side work but he says that's getting slim too. No, the economy isn't 'booming' regardless of what anyone says.

I know a couple of "troubled" kids on the west coast who got into a 12-week pre-job program to learn general work skills and then into union apprenticeship programs to become skilled workers with steady jobs and good pay and benefits. -- I feel no need to explain my politics to stupid right-wingers. After all, I am *not* the Jackass Whisperer. |

Many that existed 8 to 10 years ago are gone for good. People who want to get ahead may have to go back to school, learn new skills and start all over. |

Do they have any skills that could lead to employment? The 18 year old is just graduating HS next month but has worked nights part time with a stage company. He does sound and lights, etc but that is a pretty narrow market. The 21 YO just graduated from a local tech school, with automotive mostly in his curriculum. Both have good appearance and are pretty sharp. It's a tough market around here for young guys. |

Tell the kid getting out of high school to check out: http://bergstenmusic.com/ They are the largest backstage equipment rental company in New England and supply sound gear, lights, mixing equipment and instruments (guitars, amps, organs, keyboards, etc.) for bands and groups when they perform at the major venues in the New England area. The have a crew up there working almost 24/7 filling orders for equipment and a fleet of 8 large trucks and several smaller ones to deliver and pick it all up. I've been up there many times. It's like Disneyland for musicians or audio/lighting geeks. Don't know if they are hiring but I know they are busy as hell. The owner is a friend of mine and he told me they average about 200 rental/setup gigs a month. |

Do they have any skills that could lead to employment? Kids at a young age, starting about 10, need to be told that there decisions and actions as a pre-teen and teenager will affect their ability to get jobs in the future. There are always jobs available, they may not be the job of your dreams, wants or desires but, they are there. Come to CT and tell the kids that... Where are you getting your info? There are jobs. May not pay more than minimum wage. How many tats and piercings the kids got? Can they talk in complete sentences? Etc. |
