This summer, high school students from Licking County had the opportunity to participate in the TANF Summer Youth Employment Program, sponsored by Licking County Job and Family Services. Through this initiative, students were placed in a variety of local organizations, including BCCO, Excel Home Health Care, and Serenity Home Health Care etc. These placements allowed students to gain hands-on experience while developing essential skills such as management, organizational, public speaking, Team work, and attention to detail. The program aimed to equip them with the tools needed for future academic and professional success.
The impact of the Summer Youth Program extends beyond just the students, as it also strengthens the community by fostering a more skilled and prepared workforce. Participants like Prasan and Ronisha shared how the program helped them grow in confidence and capability, preparing them for their future careers. As the program concludes, Licking County JFS and BCCO encourage other local businesses to partner with us in future years to continue providing meaningful opportunities for the Bhutanese-Nepali youth in their professional journey.
