History: Skills Center North began operation as a community vocational training institution in 1971. The center was established to provide short-term training and entry-level job placement for residents of northern Utah. Initial enrollment was 93 students. The center moved in 1973 to its present location at 1100 Washington Blvd. In 1974 the Utah Board of Regents incorporated Skills Center North into the State's higher education system under Weber State College, and the role of the Center was expanded to include tuition-paying adult students. The Center Today: The Center operates open-entry, open-exit, self-pacing occupational training and job placement programs for approximately 500 adult and high school students every month. About forty percent of these students are high school graduates, and the majority of the students are between 20 and 30 years of age. Included in the student body are students working on their high school diplomas, as well as military veterans, and handicapped, economically disadvantaged, and unemployed citizens. A little over half of the students at the Center are female. Funding comes from both state and federal sources as well as from student tuition payments. Costs: Tuition is dependent on the student's ability to pay and is arranged with the student on an individual basis. In addition, students may be sponsored by one of many agencies who determine eligibility for stipends which are applied directly to tuition and living expenses. Support services: Counseling, student assessment, and support services are provided directly by Center staff. Counselors help enrolling students determine their aptitudes, interests, and abilities using computer-based testing and other job-related exploration activities. Counseling support is also provided throughout each student's enrollment. Major emphasis is placed on assisting students in setting and reaching meaningful job goals.
