The program utilizes a cohort-based learning model where participants are grouped for 4-5 weeks of in-person classes. The curriculum includes courses in employment, financial literacy, and driver’s education. Upon completion of the program, participants can receive financial assistance for driving lessons, car repairs, car purchase, and car insurance.
