One of the problems we encounter is that often WE staff want our clients to succeed more than the clients themselves do. And that doesn't work for any of us. But I think in large part that is due to the young age range we're working with (16-24)... a lot of them are still in the adolescent rebellion stage. They just don't have the INNER motivation that's needed. So that's a question we ask ourselves a lot doing this work: how can we help these kids to find the motivation to do what needs to be done to reach their goals? I think what you are talking about, in providing high skill training, such as working with CAD, is an excellent idea. It would inspire more pride in the work that is being done than flipping burgers at a fast food joint, not to mention providing a better salary which could actually pull someone out of poverty level living.

I can't imagine much that would have a larger impact although from experience I know it is a huge undertaking but I think your model would have a good chance if it focused on one or two families at a time. I'd imagine financial training would be another huge bonus for said families. Hmmm, if this reaches the point where you are looking to provide career training I’d be interested in a conversation.
