Participants will have an opportunity to earn $10 an hour and work up to 40 hours a week for three months in one of 12 tracks that are staggered from October 2009 through December 2010.

Thanks very much for posting this! We'll have to check if this program is also available in other counties. Anyone, please post here if you see a similar thing in South Florida or other areas.
