Youth Program

At the NTC, we're extending educational opportunities beyond the workforce to reach younger generations. Our goal: to encourage academic excellence, alleviate teen problems and guide career selection through programs that supplement the normal educational system.

Regional Training Center Youth Programs
Children of all ages are having fun and learning, too, at UAW-DaimlerChrysler Regional Training Centers. The centers offer a variety of classes and summer activities for children of UAW-DaimlerChrysler workers and youth from their communities. Check out what's available at a center near you.

It's not MTV, but it is The Real World
High school students get a reality check on the world of work in the Youth School-to-Work Program taught at the UAW-DaimlerChrysler Technology Training Center. Open to dependents of UAW-DaimlerChrysler workers, the six-week course introduces students to the skilled trades and the latest computer-aided design technology used in the auto industry. It also teaches essential job skills, such as math, customer service and business communication.

Youth Movement
Youth Beyond Borders -- Jugend ohne Grenzen -- already has given more than 250 teen-agers the chance to experience the ever-changing world. The exchange program is open to 15- to 17-year-old children of active DaimlerChrysler workers in metropolitan Detroit; Windsor, Ontario; and northern and southern Germany.

Each family makes a six-week commitment over two years: three weeks one summer for their child to travel overseas, and three weeks the other summer to serve as a host family.
