Youth Program Success Youth Program Success Greater Nebraska Greater Nebraska Gunnerkye started in the WIOA youth program as a 23-year-old, young parent with many barriers. He had no high school diploma, no driver s license, no job for the last 6+ months, and a criminal background. He had several ideas of what he would like to do for a career but had little direction. Before officially starting his OJT, he did complete and pass his GED test which aided him in getting approved for an OJT though Metal Tech. While at Metal Tech, he received 2 raises and eventually started welding with very little supervision. He now makes $21 an hour and works a lot of overtime. Gunnerkye has expressed his gratitude for the WIOA program as he can now help provide for his child and has full time employment.
