Students in the Macon County Public School System took great effort and pride in attending the WIA - Workforce Development Improvement Act 2013 Summer Program. Students had the opportunity to participate in a series of prudent topics/sessions: Drop By Drop, Harassment Is, EverFI Financial Literacy, Safety Orientation, Career Counseling, Workplace Violence, and Math and Reading Tutorials.

These students reported to the Career and Technical Education Center daily with their minds made up as to what they want out of life. Their goals are to complete the program, graduate from high school, and enter college and/or the workforce. We (Mrs. Ronita Abney, Mrs. Marilyn Renfore, Mrs. Juan Macon, Mrs Cynthia Brown,

Mr. Christopher Clark, Mr. William Turner, and Mr. Tracy Stacy) have enjoyed working with the students. The lessons learned and time spent have no limits, we really enjoyed each of you this summer and look forward to your return.

The program is projected to continue for the 2013-2014 academic year. We continue to encourage students and parents to sign up for participation. The curriculum is phenomenal and the exposure is invaluable. Again, the program is open any student in the Macon County Public School System ages 16-21. If the student is a recent graduate and has not exceeded the age of 21 they are eligible. For program information, please contact:
