Gang <br /> <br />involvement and crime keep many young people form accessing job and educational opportunities, Teen <br /> <br />pregnancy is rampant among Latino young women and serious housing shortages and expensive rents <br /> <br />continue to be a seemingly insurmountable barrier to adequately providing for the sheltering of single <br /> <br />mothers and their children.

These conditions negatively impact on the <br /> <br />possibility of targeted individuals attaining identified goals, <br /> <br />The primary goals of the project are not merely job placement and retention, but economic self- <br /> <br />sufficiency and career success. Usually, this means career advancement, because self-sufficiency is <br /> <br />achieved by the second, third or fourth job. For man of the candidates, career success is not attained by <br /> <br />climbing the corporate ladder or making more money, but by ensuring that their work supports the things <br /> <br />that are most important to them. <br /> <br />TC-CDC will utilize "The WorkNet Model: Career Development & Job Search for People with <br /> <br />Barriers" as a methodology and guide for program operation of Pathway to Success.
