Beginning with the graduating (Completers) class of 1998, the J. Everett Light Career Center will provide a written skills guarantee for each of its students that completes the curriculum.

The definition of guarantee according to Webster’s dictionary is: an assurance for the fulfillment of a condition as a: an agreement by which one person undertakes to secure another in the possession or enjoyment of something   b: an assurance of the quality of something often with the promise of reimbursement

Here is how the program works:

1. Students that complete a vocational program at J. Everett Light Career Center receive a Technical Certificate that includes the duties and tasks and their level of accomplishment certified by the teacher.

2. The student receives a "Guarantee" signed by the Vocational Director which can be given to their first employer in the area for which they were trained.

3. This student Skills guarantee states:

• This is a one year guarantee from date of issue.
• The J. Everett Light Career Center certifies the student can perform the tasks at the level listed on their Technical Certificate.
• If the student can not perform the task on the job as we have certified we will provide that training to the student free of charge.

4. Should an employer want to take advantage of the guarantee they will:

• Sign and date the graduate’s skill guarantee card and fax or mail a copy to J. Everett Light Career Center, 1901 E. 86^th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46240, Fax 259-5266
• If a deficiency or concern comes up the employer should call 259-5265 and asks for the Vocational Director.
• The graduate’s teacher will visit the work site to determine the problem. The teacher will make recommendations to the Vocational Director about the student’s training needs.
• Once a training plan has been agreed upon between the employer and Career Center, the job specific training will take place at J. Everett Light Career Center between 7:30a.m. and 3:00p.m.
