The program's primary goal is to enable the youth to obtain employment or to continue their education after high school graduation. Program components include a combination of paid employment, remediation and life skills classes, and careful on-the-job supervision. The target population is students who have completed the sophomore year of high school, have attended school a minimum of 80 percent of the time, have attained a "C" average, and meet the income eligibility requirements of the Job Training Partnership Act. An important benefit of the program is the students' recognition that they can work successfully in corporate environments that they might have been reluctant to enter or have been prevented from entering without the New Horizons experience. Also, the program serves business by supplying well-trained youth and requiring only a little paperwork from business in return. New Horizons has worked successfully with the school district to integrate the special New Horizons class into the school day. Its next challenge may be to extend the program to a larger population without diminishing its quality.
