OIC/DC provides FREE occupational skills training and job placement for the District of Columbia residents who are between the ages of 18-21.

Program Design Curriculum
The core design of this OIC program -- which is called Out-of-School Youth Skills Enhancement Program Opportunities -- is to provide valuable skill training in two growth occupational areas that need workers who can successfully and productively work in the electronic workplace. Hours are from 10:00a.m. sharp to 2:00p.m., Monday thru Friday. The training time frame is approximately 20 weeks, inclusive of classroom and on-the -job (practicum) training. Participants receive an hourly stipend for classroom and on-the-job training.

The new Opportunities Industrialization Center of Washington, DC (OIC/DC) was organized in 1999. With leadership from business, the faith-based community, community organizations and the private sectors, OIC/DC has been organized based on the principles and experience of the National OIC movement founded by Rev. Leon H. Sullivan in Philadelphia, PA in 1964. OIC/DC will educate, train, motivate and support at-risk youth and disadvantaged adults to take control of their lives, build education skills and work-related competencies and enter the mainstream workforce on the road to self-sufficiency.
