Demonstrate how the program will include targeted projects:WIA Corps Members <br />research jobs on O *NET to obtain expected job growth, wages and educational requirements. <br />Subsequently, depending on the training that is needed, Corps Members are referred to ROP, <br />Community Colleges, Apprenticeship Programs and Technical Schools. Additionally, presenters <br />are scheduled from a variety of high- demand industries including green jobs, medical careers, etc <br />D. Program Timeline <br />1.
