today I recognize the Miami Job Corps Center for all of its hard work in providing quality training programs and employment opportunities for our South Florida youth. I want to send special thanks to the center's director, Luis Cerezo, whose generous devotion to our community's young people has made this organization a great success. Through the Miami Job Corps Center, young adults in our community have been able to participate in mentoring programs and job fairs which have reinforced employability and interviewing skills, leadership training, dress code and business etiquette. In particular, one project with the School for Integrated Academics and Technologies provides student trainees the opportunity to finish their high school studies in a classroom-based, high-tech environment which will better prepare them to achieve in the working world. I again want to thank all of the dedicated workers of the Miami Job Corps Center for giving our community's young people greater opportunities for success.
