TC Futures is a collaborative venture between Educational Service District 123 and the Benton Franklin Workforce Development Council. The result is a program for local youth and young adults who have opted-out of high school. 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. Thanks to this 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.
