Take
A Student To Your Employment
What is the TASTE Program™?
The TASTE Program™
takes at-risk youth to workplaces across America. The students spend the
lunch hour talking with the employees and then take a tour of the workplace.
The goal of the TASTE Program™ is to help the students expand their
horizons, learn the ingredients of success and whet their appetite for
learning.
How does it work ?
Students go on an
official school-day field trip to a workplace. The schools transport approximately
15-30 students to each workplace around 11:30. The students eat lunches
provided by the host workplace. During lunch, they discuss the jobs available
in that workplace and what each person does in his or her job. After lunch,
the students tour the workplace. At approximately 1:30 PM, the students
will return to school.

How does the TASTE Program™ help our country´s at-risk
youth ?
Many young persons
have not had the opportunity to explore horizons outside their own neighborhoods.
The TASTE Program™ gives at-risk youth and employees the opportunity
to interact in a positive setting. The experience is a rewarding one for
everyone involved.
Who participates ?
Students, who took
part in Aspiring Youth After-School Programs or who are from middle schools
with low test scores, will be invited to visit the workplaces.
