Fall River youth build their academic skills over the summer through a collaboration with the office of Mayor Robert Correia, the Fall River Career Center, Fall River Public Schools, and the Bristol Workforce Investment Board (WIB). Youth aged 16-18 attend English math and science classes to build academic skills, gain credits toward graduation, and prepare for MCAS testing. Then, students and teachers/supervisors report to worksites around the City where students apply classroom skills to real world applications. |
