Proposal guarantees Montana high school grads a good job — if they give a year of service first

The plan focuses specifically on helping teens acquire the skills that are vital for a future workforce. It would also help Montana develop and keep a skilled workforce in the state, rather than losing Montana graduates to jobs in other parts of the country, Kahn said.

Known as "American Jobs for American Youth: A Montana Proposal to the Nation," http://americanjobs4youth.org/ the proposal guarantees a job at a living wage for every high school graduate who wants one.
