Workforce Development- This program serves youth ages 16-24 in Jackson, Macon, Swain, Graham, Clay, and Cherokee Counties that have dropped out of school or are otherwise disengaged. This program helps participants overcome boundaries and lack of resources to assist youth in attaining their GEDs, engaging in the workforce and attaining a meaningful credential. This program provides assistance with gas mileage, childcare and other emergency needs that get in the way of underserved youth receiving a credential or diploma. HIGHTS provides eight weeks of paid work experience in a workplace, so youth gain valuable and meaningful work experience and often find employment with the same company they do this work experience with. HIGHTS Workforce Development served 236 participants in 2024-25.
