AMP: Arts & Multimedia Production
The Arts & Multimedia Productions program (AMP) trains students who are 14-18 yrs. in multimedia skills such as web design, animation, desktop publishing, and video production. It is divided in two components in order to serve both students who are on vacation (off track) as well as those in school. AMP's after-school program provides introductory multimedia workshop experiences that prepare students for its more in-depth off-track program. AMP's off-track program trains students during their vacation period in a six-week, TBD-hr. course. During the first five weeks of the course, students learn applications such as DreamWeaver, Flash, Fireworks, Final Cut Pro, AfterEffects, Quark, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Technology and employment staff, as well as volunteer multimedia professionals, instruct these courses. Students also participate in career exploration field trips to multimedia businesses. During the sixth week of the course, students attend employment preparation workshops instructed by our employment training coordinator. At the end of the AMP course, students are placed in multimedia internships.

INTRAC: Integrated Training Academy
The Integrated Training Academy (INTRAC) provides young people between 18-21 who have dropped out of school with the impetus to forget what lies behind and forge ahead toward a successful future. INTRAC students work together in a six-month, highly individualized program where they prepare for the GED test, address academic skill deficiencies, participate in field trips, learn high-end software programs, and are trained pre-employment skills. Each student is placed in an internship in line with their stated career goals, and then is assisted in finding full-time employment. INTRAC students are treated to a culminating prom at the end of each session, and are mentored by the INTRAC instructor long after their formal session ends.

STEP: Student Training and Employment Program
Young people between 14-18 seeking to improve their economic conditions participate in our Student Training and Employment Program. At the beginning of the program, each student is asked to pick a maximum of three goals for the year. Potential goals include: obtaining a job; improving grades; learning English; getting computer skills, and exploring various careers. STEP students then participate in a six-week program facilitated by our employment training coordinator. Tuesdays and Thursdays are job preparation days as students work on their resumes, cover letters, participate in mock interviews and attend career exploration field trips. On Wednesdays, academic deficiencies are addressed during WIA (Work In Action) Skills Club. At the end of the program each student is referred to our job developer and placed in an internship or part-time job that reflects his or her career goals.
