Six students in the Charles County Public Schools Adult Independence Program (AIP) graduated Wednesday, May 14, in a ceremony held at the Waldorf Jaycee Community Center.

Certificates were presented to Fahad Ahmed, Charles Fluharty, Jason Reed, Holly Roberts, Katie Simmons and Thomas "Tony" Wills.

The Adult Independence Program provides students with community learning experiences that parallel experiences of independent adults. Throughout the duration of the program, which is designed for student's ages 18 to 21, students acquire adult skills and apply them to community environments.

Students in the program are trained to search for employment and to complete job applications, as well as how to access the public transportation system. Participating employers in the 2007-08 program range from PetSmart, Sports Authority and Dollar Tree, to Capital Clubhouse and St. Ignatius Church.
