twitterLearning-Earning helps at-risk students
Friday, April 29, 2005 | 8:15 a.m.
The Learning and Earning program at the Community College of Southern Nevada has helped 700 at-risk students.
The drive behind CCSN's initiative is to reduce Nevada's high school dropout rate, improve the graduation rate and open wider access to college. Learning and Earning benefits Clark County 11th and 12th graders in jeopardy of not graduating with their peers.
Many at-risk students now have the chance to improve their academic status through CCSN intervention that provides counseling, study time, staff mentoring and employability skills training, while earning wages through mentored part-time employment at the college.
Call 651-7300 for more information about the program.
