Hi Lore, Sounds like you have a good program with field trips and job search skills. You might want to create a list of 20 things that the student should be able to do or know related to employment readiness and awareness and skills like interviewing, creating resumes, etc. Even with a 12 week program there can be placement and career awareness and skill building built into every classroom session. You'll be surprised how you increase placement and job retention. Best wishes, Susan
