Picking up where others leave off

Sunny skies will eventually lead to the chance for rain this week

First Posted: 5/16/2014 A partnership has recently been formed among the Luzerne-Wyoming Counties Mental Health and Developmental Services Training Council on Quality, The Junior Achievement Center of Northeastern PA and the administration of Pittston Area High School. The collaborate initiative will provide an opportunity for Pittston Area High School students and individuals with special needs to explore employment/career interests at the Junior Achievement Center. The intent of the project is to heighten community and students&#8217; awareness of individuals with special needs as well as simulate an integrated model of community employment.
