The document proposes several ideas for helping high school students get jobs and save money for college: 1) High schools would develop job boards and career counseling to help students find jobs after graduation. They would partner with local businesses and hold job fairs. 2) A 4-year business class would teach students to start their own businesses by senior year, with funding support from banks, investors, and profits going to college funds. 3) A new Civilian Conservation Corps program would provide paid work on public projects along with skills training, lodging, stipends, and money for college, similar to the 1930s program. 4) Additional proposals include work-study partnerships between colleges and businesses, government

7. – Business leaders
– Government employees/political leaders
– Retired people
– People in retirement homes/hospitals
• Partnering students with people who have
“been there” and are “connected” to navigate
the job/school scenarios, give guidance and
emotional support.

8. • High School developed four year class which teaches students how to develop and run a business.
• By senior year all students will have started their own businesses (either by themselves or together.) and
run it for 6 months.
• High schools work with banks, angels invenstors, and business to fund the start-ups. Matching investors to
businesses.
• % of profits go to college fund.
• This allows the students to have a way to be gainfully employed with money towards college if they
choose. Should they choose not to go to college afterall, their “college funds” will be invested in the next
round of student start-ups.
• Turn of investment to be included but low percent.
• Win/win scenario – for investors and students.

9. Develop a program like the 1930’s Civilian
Conservation Corps
• The 1930’s Civilian Conservation Corps was a program
developed in the depression era of the United States. It
provided paid work for millions of unemployed and often
“unskilled” individuals on government projects of
conservation and infrastructure (roads, etc) while teaching
skills and bolstering feelings of self work during that very
difficult time.
• So…This program would provide food, lodging, small stipend
and, money towards college – It would include learning skills, automatic
savings toward college, and public benefit through road
maintenance, etc.
