Michigan Works YouthBuild Applications Being Accepted



Applications are being taken for anyone in Benton Harbor between the ages of 16 and 24 who didn't finish high school to take part in the Michigan Works! YouthBuild program, which will start in December. Traditionally, the program has just been for construction, but Michigan Works! Community Relations Director Megan McCausland says there's a change in 2012.

Combining construction skills and nursing may seem like an odd pairing, but McCausland says there are jobs ready right now for those who can get the training.

Those 100 jobs are all in Berrien County. Two information sessions on YouthBuild are coming up, with the first tomorrow at the Michigan Works! office on West Main in Benton Harbor and the second next Thursday at the Bridge Academy. McCausland says they're looking for about 70 students, but can likely accomodate more.
