Development Center Program
The
KIDS IN BUSINESS® Development Center program complements the in-school
program by offering after school and summer learning opportunities and employment
for children and young adults, from age 14 up. The Development Center program
also offers adults and senior citizens comprehensive computer training at
no charge.
The Development Center program strives to remove some of the barriers that keep young adults from working and growing in a positive direction, erasing the double-bind that many participants face when searching for employment elsewhere, only to find that employers require work experience. More than just a job or training center, the Development Center program offers employment while learning, instilling in participants the desire to become lifelong learners and achievers.
