Program Overview

Thanks in part to a grant from the Orange County Workforce Investment Board, the College engages out-of-school and unemployed youth to reconnect with educational and workforce systems.  The YEP is held on the SUNY Orange Middletown campus and offers youth ages 16-24 an opportunity to:

• Prepare for the High School Equivalency test named GED
• Improve literacy and numeracy skills 
• Receive skills training in in-demand industries like customer service and retail, healthcare, and security guard
