The Bluegrass Workforce
Investment Area will serve 13 of its 17 counties in-house. As of early June,
ninety-four worksites have been established with approximately 270 slots for
work experience. One hundred and eighty-seven youth have been screened and meet
initial eligibility and are currently in the process of certification. The four
other area counties will be subcontracted to serve a total of 185 youth. This
program, designated BLUE (By Learning U Earn), will begin on June 15.
The “Bluegrass Goes Green
Summer Youth Program” (GREEN) will serve seventeen teams (each team consisting
of five disadvantaged youth) in each of the seventeen counties within the
Bluegrass Area Development District. Each team will research and access the
greenness of their community and create a plan on ways their community can “go
green”. Team members will have a choice of topics for research.
