RTS enrolls up to 45 students per year, we focus on GED prep, life skills and pre-employment training.

Students attended the Job fair at Daytona State Campus, where two students obtained jobs from attending.  Workshops this month included, in-house educational and training workshops by Sayskids Bryan Perry, Wells Fargo Bank, Travis Thomas from Flagler Technical Institute, Know the Law presented by DJJ, resume writing assistance.
