A collaborative venture between ESD 123 and the
Benton-Franklin Workforce Development Council (BFWDC) has resulted in a new re-engagement center for local youth and young adults. We are proud to announce the grand opening of the TC Futures Center!
Both agencies are longtime service providers dedicated to connecting youth and young adults with access to resources and opportunities in order to find success as they transition out of the school system. Now, thanks to this new partnership, youth and young adults ages 16-24 will find a welcoming environment where they can work on finishing their education and connect with incredible employment opportunities. TC Futures offers GED completion, career counseling, employment opportunities, on-the-job training, internships, apprenticeships, and other employment related services.
The community is invited to attend the grand opening celebration of the TC Futures Center at 11 AM on Friday, September 27th, at 6917 W. Grandridge Blvd Suite C-110 in Kennewick, WA.
“Opening our doors is just the beginning," says Tiffany Scott, BFWDC CEO. "We have codified our partnership with ESD123 and stood up TC Futures as an important access point to re-engage youth and young adults into education and employment. Together we will continue to grow with community stakeholders and offer young adults a brighter future by obtaining the skills they need to make a livable wage.”
Both ESD 123 and BFWDC look forward to the grand opening event beginning at 11 AM on September 27. For more information on the grand opening event or to RSVP, contact the BFWDC Office Manager Becky Smith at 734-5996, or TC Futures Center Director Mark Wheaton at 537-1706.
