                   RECOGNIZING MIAMI JOB CORPS CENTER

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, 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.
