This service is crucial for all youth participating in the program <br />because it will allow them to learn about various academic paths, including vocational <br />training, HS recovery programs and 4 -year institutions, while narrowing down a career of <br />interest and actually committing to a program. In addition, all participants will be <br />provided with tutoring, psychological counseling (if needed), and other important support <br />services. OCCTA's environment is very nurturing, fun and supportive, and provides youth <br />opportunities to maintain a high level of involvement in our programs. WIOA youth are <br />supported emotionally throughout the entire year at OCCTAC, and are provided with a <br />positive and welcoming environment that also encourages youth to partake on various <br />leadership roles within the various programs and activities at our agency. These additional <br />activities provide youth with an opportunity to gain self-confidence, self-esteem and <br />leadership skills, and also experience a safe haven at our center. Our goal is to empower <br />youth and provide a life changing opportunity through this WIOA program! <br />5. Paid & Unpaid Work Experience: <br />A.
