Skills Center North was established in 1971 to serve the vocational training and basic education needs of the disadvantaged adult. The development of the Skills Center was the result of the incompleteness of several previous vocational training programs in meeting the needs of the disadvantaged adult population. The community and several social services agencies felt the need for a more direct involvement in the operation of an educational institution. In order to meet this need, a Policy Board was created, consisting of representatives of the local social service agencies, the community, and the clients to be served. The input and cooperation that has surrounded the Skills Center has enabled it to achieve an outstanding record in successfully placing the adult into meaningful employment. The present mission of the Skills Center North is to increase the employability of the individual. Employability encompasses the availability of a job, appropriate job attitudes, adequate verbal and non-verbal skills and specific skills training. This purpose is met through open-entry/open-exit enrollment, and individualized instruction directed towards placement. It is important that the trainee leaves the program with both a realistic perception of the world of work and with the attitude and motivation required to survive in the world of work. Skills Center North is dedicated to helping students realize their full potential. Each student is assisted in developing an employability plan which will relate to the job market, and to their personal goal. Jobs and people do, indeed, match! Students permitted to enroll into Skills Center North should be unemployed and, for the most part, not successful in the traditional educational setting. In November, 1976, the State Board of Regents adopted a uniform tuition policy for students entering Skills Center North. The tuition that the student is required to pay is dependent upon certain criteria and will be worked out with the student on an individual basis. Students enrolling into the program are provided with a complete evaluation and assessment program. This program is designed to assist the individual in establishing an appropriate employment goal. Extensive use of assessment information and student exploration is utilized. Enrollment into an exploratory program is based entirely upon the employability goal and the student commitment. Programs dealing with the entire employment needs of the local labor market and individual students are accomplished through flexible enrollment.
