An article about a new working relationship between the Carl
D. Perkins Job Corps Center and the Volunteer Lawyers for Appalachian Kentucky
was featured in the organization’s spring 2013 newsletter.
The article highlighted the new relationship between the two
non-profit organizations. VLAK now is a work-based learning site for the Office
Administration program at Perkins. VLAK’s first intern was Nichelle Fields, who
put her clerical skills to use in the day-to-day operations of the VLAK office.
Fields said her internship with VLAK was helpful in teaching her discipline,
socialization and communication skills, and has given her the opportunity to
work with people who are older than herself. Her goals include pursuing her
interests in fashion, writing and singing.
