The WIOA in-school youth program is designed to support juniors and seniors by providing structured career exploration, employability skills training, and real-world learning opportunities.

Students at Central Elementary–High School are gaining valuable career exploration and workforce readiness experience through participation in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) in-school youth program.
The WIOA in-school youth program is designed to support juniors and seniors by providing structured career exploration, employability skills training, and real-world learning opportunities. While employers may benefit from the activities performed by participating students, the primary focus of the program is student development and career readiness rather than employer gain.
The program remains open to eligible students who are interested in exploring career pathways while developing essential workplace skills such as responsibility, communication, and professionalism.
Students and parents seeking additional information or wishing to apply are encouraged to contact James Carter, the school’s Work-Based Learning Coordinator.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act was signed into law on July 22, 2014. The legislation was created to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services needed to succeed in today’s labor market, while also assisting employers in finding skilled workers. Passed with strong bipartisan support, WIOA marked the first major reform of the public workforce system since 1998.

One of the coolest things about February, in my view, is the sheer number of things to celebrate. Few other months can boast of things like:
Groundhog Day
Lincoln’s Birthday
Valentine’s Day
Washington’s Birthday
President’s Day
And the various other smaller, less-celebrated holidays that pepper the calendar as well. Seems like February, once (a long time ago) the last month of the year, more than makes up for that by having so many fun things in it!
Available in February – and every week – is trivia, right here in your favorite part of the newspaper. So let’s get to the fun right now!
This Week in American History: 1961 – Sabena Flight 548 Crashes Near Brussels
• Feb. 15. On this day in 1961, Sabena Flight 548, a Boeing 707-329, having departed Idlewild Airport (now John F. Kennedy International Airport) is on approach to land at Brussels Airport, Belgium. A small airplane has not cleared the runway and Sabena Flight 548 was told to cancel the approach and land on a different runway. The second approach had to be aborted as well. At that point observers saw the pilots were having difficultly controlling the aircraft which circled the airport three times. It pitched up, had a near vertical bank angle, leveled the wings then spiraled nose-down into the ground less than two miles from the airport. There were 72 people on the aircraft and 61 died in the crash. Among the dead were the entire US figure skating team along with coaches and family members that were traveling to the World Figure Skating Championships in Prague. The cause of the crash was never determined but thought to have been a failure in a flight control system. A memorial is located at the crash site.
