To be young and untrained in today’s workforce is equivalent to standing at the intersection of poverty boulevard and dead-end street. You may be able to escape, but will require mapping out a detailed plan.

Being able to move from a place of hardship to one of accomplishment can be difficult for even the most seasoned professional. Clearly, young adults who haven’t the experience nor training to overcome everyday workplace obstacles are even more venerable to becoming caught at that grime intersection with no hope.

Young residents in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area now have a program that will move them into a position where they can become and maintain their self-sufficiency. The Minority Workers Training Program (MWTP), which graduated its first local class of students this past summer, is now recruiting students for its 2007 class. The main goal of the program is to provide young adults with a vigorous training program that will eventually lead to productive employment. Overall, the program has a success rate of nearly 70 percent nationwide.
