Annually, the vocational programs will serve approximately 140 youth with the following characteristics: 94% qualify for free and reduced lunch; 78% are racial and ethnic minorities; 21.4% are females and 78.6% are males; and all students are subject to the Department of Juvenile Justice jurisdiction. The vocational training will help students grow into responsible, community-minded adults that are employed and participating positively in society. Construction and food service training are in high demand, and will provide career opportunities not available to students at this time. Either path will provide training in skills necessary for specific jobs culminating in nationally recognized certifications. The construction classroom will allow students to obtain an NCCER Construction certification. Updating the kitchen will enhance the SERVSafe food handling certification program. AMIkids expects that 80% or more of their students will be placed into further educational settings or gain employment after completion of the vocational program. AMIkids expects that by following-up with students, 75% or more will still be in an educational setting or employed for at least one year having completed the program. Diverting a high risk teenager from a life of crime will improve local public safety and save substantial sums of public money. Adding AMIkids Careers to this already successful program will additionally give them the skills, certifications and confidence to get a good job and stay employed.
