Summer Jet Program

This year, the summer JET (Job Exploration and Training) program started on 6/13/2022.  This program focuses on youth ages 14 to 21 giving real life, paid work experience to participants.  This summer, 13 students from various school districts are working at local businesses for six weeks.  Along with working in the community, this group is also washing cars every Friday at the County Board Office.  The car detailing service has been very popular with the community in the past. The JET program provides training and offers job experience to students to help them prepare and work towards their career goals in the future.
