摘要: |
The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) initiated a program entitled the Jefferson County Youth Transportation Program. The program was sponsored by the ALDOT Training Bureau and administered by the Minority Business Training and Development Program within the UAB Special Studies department. The purpose of the program is to introduce high school students in Jefferson County to transportation-related professions. In particular, the program is directed toward local high schools with large concentrations of minority students. It is intended to provide education and mentoring to these students and to encourage them to pursue careers in transportation. The University Transportation Center for Alabama (UTCA) sponsored a project to expand the original Jefferson County Youth Transportation Program through involvement of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. |
