These sessions are mandatory.
If it is your decision

it is you would like to be upon completion of your education. Make
your plans and set goals to achieve the outcome(s) you desire.

your exit you will be required to keep in touch with your WIA Youth Counselor

success and the success of future members is dependent on whether you complete your
planned goals successfully and find employment.
