Participants must work 16 to 20 hours a week, and attend school to earn. at least three high school credits. The option will be available to youths who have less than a Grade 12 education, have been out of school for at least 12 con- secutive weeks or have accumu- lated a total of 16 jobless weeks in the past year.
