The GUAM WORKFORCE INVESTMENT SYSTEM, in collaboration with the
Office of the Governor, business industry and community stakeholders
have engaged in the "Passport to Careers" summer youth employment for
Guam's public high schools. The agency partners of the workforce
investment system consists of the Department of Education as the lead
agency in this effort, along with Department of Youth Affairs, Guam
Community College, the University of Guam, Department of Labor, Agency
for Human Resources Development, the Division of Vocational
Rehabilitation, and the business community.
The goal of the program, which begins in July, is to prepare
students in their career path with the skills and competencies to enter
the work force. This summer, the program hopes to provide the
opportunity for Guam's youth to participate in the job market
identified by the power of E3 (Education, Employment and Economic
Development) within the Construction Trades, Health Care, Business,
Tourism and Telecommunications.
Through their involvement, students will acquire employment
experience that prepares them with job entry skills and practical
knowledge of the workforce environment. A year-round employment
experience for students in the career path is one of the objectives of
the program.
Five hundred students will be allowed to participate in the program
working in the private sector as they integrate their academic learning
into the work force.
