C-TEC Youth Services is a collaborative effort managed by the Clackamas Technical Education Consortium (C-TEC). The C-TEC program provides education, employment, and training support for low-income youth with barriers to employment.

The goals of the C-TEC Youth Services Program include providing the wrap-around services youth need in order to:

• Continue in academic programs;
• Increase their basic skills;
• Transition successfully into training programs; and,
• Transition into paid employment opportunities.

The success of the C-TEC Youth Services program relies on collaborative partnerships and linkages among local high schools, Clackamas Community College, state and county agencies, community-based organizations, and local businesses.
