LACC Summer Youth Employment Program @ LA METRO<br />
The <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>2011</strong> SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM provided 100 hours of work<br />
experience for 12 LACC students at LA METRO. Matched with LA METRO supervisors<br />
throughout the organization, our students received LA METRO IDs and complimentary LA<br />
METRO passes for transportation to and from work.<br />
Joined by students from LA Trade Tech and Franklin High School, the students were exposed to<br />
many opportunities to tour the BOC and Division 9 Transportation and Maintenance operation.<br />
Riding through the bus wash was the highlight of their day! On Tuesday, August 23, <strong>2011</strong>, our<br />
LACC students were celebrated in a graduation ceremony by LA METRO's CEO, Mr. Arthur T.<br />
Leahy.<br />
excited to tour the ROC as well as the Transportation and Maintenance facilities at the Green<br />
Line. Our students were constantly reminded by METRO staff that, "if they stay in school, go on<br />
to college, secure a great career at METRO, anything is possible." They were also excited to<br />
ride the Red and Blue Line trains to the ROC and the Green Line train to the end of the line<br />
before touring the Green Line Division. To view the students and the safety videos they<br />
created at LA METRO. Please view this link: http://youtu.be/bFtbz6mZ8O8. Each team's video<br />
was uploaded to the LA METRO website.<br />
