Success
In program year 2004-2005
CET operated training centers provided training services to 4734 individuals
in 20 communities across the nation. The great majority of those served
included youth and adults with significant employment barriers. Serving
those most in need and least likely to succeed, of course, has been the
forte of CET since its inception.
Nearly half of the
participants served were individuals who dropped out of elementary or
high school. The percentage of persons with Limited English Proficiency
was 42%. Those typically served by CET include Public Assistance recipients,
disadvantaged youth, dislocated workers, disabled and injured workers,
migrant and seasonal farm workers and other persons not in the workforce.
Students entering
training programs at CET during the program year had an annual average,
pre-training income of $7,595. Following placement into a training related
unsubsidized job, graduates reflected a post-training average annual income
of $25, 680 (including an estimated 20% Fringe Benefits). Amazingly,
within an average period of 28 weeks in training CET graduates saw a three-fold
increase in their earnings.
Graduates from the
CET program in Program Year 2004-2005 boasted a Graduation Placement Rate
of 81.2% and a Training Related Placement Rate of 80%.
