The Garrett A. Morgan Page Program designed for high school juniors and seniors in North Carolina has hit a snag. According to an announcement by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the program's initiation, which was originally set for next week, has been pushed back.
The Garrett A. Morgan Page Program gives students from Title I schools, which serve low-income families, a chance to learn about state government and the transportation industry. These teenagers get to meet professionals at North Carolina Department of Transportation's headquarters in Raleigh and experience a real work environment.
Programs like the Garrett A. Morgan Page Program are important for students from Title I schools, helping them explore career paths they might not have considered otherwise. An North Carolina Department of Transportation spokesperson confirmed that the program will be rescheduled, offering hope that the opportunities are just delayed, not canceled.
