BCREB Honors Interprint, Adams Pizza House, Lou Bertocci & Tom Roche

02:13PM / Thursday, September 17, 2009

PITTSFIELD, Mass. - At the September 3rd Board of Directors meeting, the Berkshire County Regional Employment Board, Inc. presented 4 special recognition awards honoring employers and employees committed to providing quality summer work experiences for youth.

Board Mtg 9-09 007 Heather Shogry, Lou Bertocci, Albert A. Ingegni, III

As part of the Summer Youth Works and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding, the BCREB provided a myriad of summer youth programs for eligible youth. Forty-five youth completed the Youth Works Program and 64 completed the ARRA program. The following individuals and companies were honored for their involvement with these youth programs:

Lou Bertocci and Thomas Roche from Lenox Public Schools were recognized for their 15 years experience providing enriching work experiences to hundreds of disabled youth. Their unwavering commitment, advocacy and work with this population has greatly contributed to youths’ lifetime success and reaching their personal aspirations. The Lenox Public Schools program for this summer was funded through American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding and a grant through the Berkshire United Way.

Sept 2009 061 BCREB Chair Albert A. Ingegni, III presenting award to Interprint employees

Although many of our participating employers providing valuable work placements this summer, Interprint and Pizza House in Adams went above and beyond mentoring youth and made this a unforgettable experience. Interprint was part of the Summer Youth Works program and ended up hiring the youth upon completion of the program. Pizza House was part of the Youth Center Inc.’s ARRA funded program and provided 3 at-risk youth employment opportunities and recruited additional employers to participate in the program. Both employers provided safe, learning rich environments that helped their young people excel.

My husband and I knew Tom Roche when he was a student in the Lenox High school (We were both teaching there). It is no surprise that he has made such a great committment to the young people in his home community. Well done, Tom. A plus from us both.
