Vocational Programs
We develop vocational programming with input from area businesses that are in need of workers. We train youth for jobs that already exist and where available workers are in short supply. Our programs are designed with input from the businesses that intend to hire the young people. We establish connections with these businesses to help us identify their true needs. Our vocational opportunities are designed to end with a nationally recognized certification. Before we begin a program, we have commitments from businesses that obtaining the certification will move our youth to the front of the employment line.
Auberle offers (4) vocational programs:
-
HAZWOPER: In conjunction with Weavertown Environmental Group, trains interested youth for environmental protection and remediation services. The HAZWOPER program ends with our youth acquiring an OSHA HAZWOPER Certification that can lead to real employment opportunities in the environmental services field.
