The Steams-Benton Employment and Training Council (SBETC) has received $601,000 to serve low-

program. We will be serving 192 low income youth and young adults, ages 14-24, in this program beginning on June
22 on the campus of St. Cloud State University.
The work readiness program, career®p f is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
2009, and will offer two sixteen day programs. Teams of eight youth and young adults, under the supervision of a
caring and skilled team leader, will team and apply the skills employers need and complete community work projects.
The first session will be for youths ages 14 - 17 and will be held 22 June -16 July. The second session will be for
young adults ages 18 - 24 and will be held 20 July -13 August.
