Work Skills Training Center for Youth Inc.

Private Tuition & Program Options

We provide intensive, hands-on vocational training designed to bridge the gap between the classroom and the workforce. Our programs embed all 21st-century workplace readiness skills directly into authentic, daily operations across our three core pillars: Agriculture, Culinary Arts, and Retail/Customer Service. To ensure highly personalized mentorship and immediate support, we maintain a strict 1-to-4 staff-to-student ratio.

Option 1: Flexible Part-Time Programs (Homeschool & Transitioning Students)

Perfect for students looking to build skills alongside their standard academic curriculum.

We offer flexible scheduling ranging from 1 to 5 days per week. Families can choose the daily duration that best fits their student’s stamina and academic schedule, ranging from 1 to 4 hours per day.

Part-Time Base Rate: $25 per hour

Daily Breakdown Examples:

  • 1 Hour per day: $25 / day

  • 2 Hours per day: $50 / day

  • 3 Hours per day: $75 / day

  • 4 Hours per day: $100 / day

Weekly Cost Example: A student attending 2 days per week for 4 hours a day would have a tuition rate of $200/week.

Option 2: Comprehensive Day School Program (Post-Graduates & Adult Day Students)

Designed for young adults who have aged out of the traditional school system and are seeking a full-time, immersive workplace readiness environment.

This comprehensive program mirrors a standard workday, focusing heavily on stamina, complex task completion, leadership, and community interaction. It includes a daily working lunch and heavy involvement in our food bank pipeline and community luncheons.

  • Schedule: 5 Days per Week (Monday – Friday)

  • Hours: 6 Hours per day (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM)

Customized Pathways Built for You

We recognize that every young adult has unique passions and strengths. Our curriculum is entirely flexible! If a student has a specific interest—such as cake decorating and pastry arts, advanced landscaping, hydroponic systems design, or retail merchandising—we are fully equipped to customize their daily tasks and projects to focus heavily on those specific career pathways.

Included in All Tuition Rates:

  • 1:4 direct supervision and instruction from specialized professionals.

  • All raw materials, consumable goods, and culinary ingredients.

  • Integrated soft-skills training (communication, emotional regulation, teamwork).

  • Progression toward nationally recognized certifications (ServSafe, Greenhouse Management, NRF Customer Service).
