Rock River Training Corporation provides opportunities for young people between ages 14-21 in Boone and Winnebago Counties to complete their education and train in areas that help build a foundation to enhance their future.
Youth Programs for in-school youth help youth stay in school by providing tutoring, counseling, mentoring, career exploration, work experiences, and overall support. The expectations of the workplace permeate the programs which, in cooperation with the youths' schools, prepare youth to enter additional education/training after high school and/or full-time jobs. Youth may be in a program from several years.
Programs for youth who have dropped out of school emphasize the youth's return to school or obtaining a GED as a basic step on their road to self-sufficiency. Programs provide basic skills/GED instruction, tutoring, counseling, mentoring, career exploration, and work experience. The programs keep in contact with youth who leave the programs for at least a year.
Just as the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) has impacted RRTC's Adult programs, WIA has had an even larger effect on the youth programs. Rock River Training once focused on two separate programs, Year-around and Summer. These once independent programs are now required to be part of an integrated youth program. The WIA program is subcontracted to schools and agencies in the community. For more information, contact us.
