Also, obtain training on general office skills and entry <br />level clerical work such as data entry Word, Excel, Access, and Power <br />Point.

The OCLF will place youth participants on internships with various Local <br />Unions throughout Orange County. Specifically, youth will have the <br />opportunity to work with both public and private sector unions. These <br />unions represent county & city employees (i.e. firefighters, police, court <br />reporters), nurses, grocery & retail workers, roofers, plumbers and <br />electrical workers. This will give youth real hands -on experience and a <br />realistic experience of what the "job" entails. <br />Exhibit A 4 <br />
