STATEMENT OF WORK
1. PROGRAM SUMMARY
Pinellas Private Industry Council, Inc., in partnership with the City of
Clearwater, Pinellas County Schools, St. Petersburg Junior College, and
Clearwater business and community leaders, will develop a quality,
structured program for economically disadvantaged youth who are 16-18
years of age, at risk of dropping out-of-school, and reside in the North
Greenwood area. Participants will be high school juniors or seniors.
The program is designed to serve youth who have a grade point average of
at least 1.5 or whose academic skills will permit them to benefit from
the classroom materials without specialized instruction. The program
design is based upon suggestions made by the Youth Builders Clearwater
Management Committee.
The program design will cover the following components: pre-employment
skills, work maturity skills, leadership skills and citizenship skills.
The development of these skills will serve to empower youth with
knowledge that will provide them with a foundation from which to make
career, education and personal decisions which may affect their
educational options.
The Council will conduct assessment activities and assist participants
in developing an individual strategy plan. The plan will reflect
assessment results and recommendations of the staff evaluator regarding
educational options which may include vocational training, college
certificate or degree program, or an apprenticeship program through
local industries. Youth interested in pursuing an academic certificate
or degree may elect to earn college credit while taking high school
courses. This will enable the youth to acquire college credit towards
their college objective prior to high school graduation.
Prior to enrollment in
agreement that verifies
program concept.
the program, youth must sign a contractual
his/her commitment to the program and the
Youth will be enrolled in the Youth Builders program for a period of up
to six (6) months and will actively participate in all program
components. Each youth will be assigned a mentor who will develop and
maintain open communication with the youth through recreational,
cultural, alumni activities, home visits and telephone contact for a
period of up to one (1) year.
Participants will be paid for time spent in classroom instruction.
Classes will be held at a site accessible to youth. Youth will be
required to attend class at least four (4) hours per week, for a
total of twenty-five (25) hours prior to beginning the work
experience component. The first twenty-five hours of training will
emphasis pre-employment and work maturity skills in order to
prepare youth for success in their work experience assignment.
Classroom instruction will continue while the youth is enrolled in
work experience. Youth will be provided an additional fifty (50)
hours of classroom and/or structured activities to include
citizenship skills, tours to industry and educational facilities,
6
and recreational/ctl.tural activities designed).- to enhance career
exploration. It ~s estimated that youth w 11 receive up to
seventy-five (75) hours of classroom ...;,nstruction. Each program
participant will spend a total of fifty (50) hours with an adult
mentor which may include participation in scheduled activities,
regular telephone contact and/or home visits.
Youth participating in work experience will be compensated at $4.25 per
hour and may work 10 to 15 hours per week. The number of hours a youth
may work per week may increase as the youth becomes more comfortable
with their additional schedule of work and class responsibilities. Work
experience positions will be developed in demand occupations and with
businesses that are located in areas accessible to the youth.
Upon termination from the program, youth will be encouraged to follow
the educational track listed in their training agreement. The Counselor-
Trainer will conduct participant follow-up and will prepare a program
evaluation.
Youth who complete the program should gain valuable knowledge which will
help them become competitive, productive citizens in the labor market.
The Council projects that through the cooperation of the educational
institutions, business and community leaders, parental involvement, and
individual youth commitment, the Youth Builders of Clearwater Program
will be successful in:

-Exposing youth to career exploration
-Providing career, educational, and personal options
-Acquiring skills in demand occupations and work readiness
-Developing positive recreational activities
-Building a work history
-Becoming knowledgeable of community resources

responsible citizens, with a good working knowledge of who they are, a
sense of their strengths and potential, and implement a plan to
accomplish their individual career and educational objectives.
2. SPECIFIC PROGRAM DESIGN

community leaders, Pinellas County Schools, and the City of Clearwater
Police Department. To be eligible, a youth must be a high school junior
or senior who is at risk of dropping out of school, between 16 and 18
years of age, reside in the North Greenwood area, and be economically
disadvantaged. The Council reserves the right to accept/reject

I
I
Each youth will complete an assessment to evaluate their aptitudes and
interests in order to develop a strategy plan to establish and
accomplish their career and educational objectives. The results of the
assessment will be reviewed with each applicant and will provide them
with information regarding areas in which improvement is required. The
assessment review will enable youth to gain insight regarding their
personal strengths/weaknesses, interests and abilities, and will also
provide information for the Council to determine whether or not the
program services are appropriate for each individual.
In addition to the Council's ability to conduct assessment, other
resources available in the community may be utilized such as Pinellas
County Schools, (PTEC-North and Clearwater Evening School) and St.
Petersburg Junior College.
C. Career Exploration

assessment process. Youth will visit industries in the Clearwater area
which will allow them to match up what they have read about and
discussed in the classroom to actually observing individuals at work in
the participants career choice. Speakers from the business community
will share their experiences and knowledge, and provide the opportunity
for participants to inquire about concerns or questions not readily
available in books such as the Dictionary of Occupational Titles and
other occupational job search literature.

will make a one (1) year commitment which will consist of six (6) months
while the youth is active in the program and six (6) months after the
participant has left the program and is pursuing career and educational
objectives. This continued contact should offer encouragement and
inspiration to the youth, and an additional resource when the
educational training plan needs to be modified or adjusted.
The recruitment, screening, and training of mentors is the
responsibility of the Youth Builders Clearwater Management
Committee. The Council will also assist in this process.

advantage of pre-apprentice programs and work towards removing career,
educational and personal barriers in order to meet their program career
goal.
The Council will develop a special summer project that will permit
participants to complete classroom instruction during the summer months.

vocational training curricula which allow youth to gain job specific
skills.
Since some high school seniors may not complete the classroom portion of
the program prior to graduation, the Council will develop a special
summer project whereby the Program Manager will extend classroom
instruction as a part of the summer work experience activity.
Upon completion of the summer work experience, a high school graduate
may elect to enter vocational training or the PATHS program offered by
St. Petersburg Junior College. The PATHS program offers basic skills
