42 SOME Graduates Prepared to Enter Workforce
On June 4, 42 students graduated from SOME's Center for Employment Training with the skills needed to support themselves and their families. Half of the graduates have already secured jobs despite the District's higher than average unemployment rate.
A lack of jobs that pay a living wage helps keep low income individuals and families poor and homeless, particularly in Ward 8, where the Center recently moved and where the jobless rate is nearly 30%.
For the June 4 graduates and the hundreds before them, SOME's Center for Employment Training has provided a way out of poverty.
