DETROIT CHARITY
December 16, 2005
Focus: HOPE, a Detroit charity that ran a program making auto parts while providing job training to youths, announced it will no longer manufacture auto parts due to increasing competition in the market, reports the Detroit Free Press. The organization’s Center for Advanced Technologies had been operating for 12 years, but a reorganization will drop the program, lay off about 40 employees, and shift training programs into other areas, such as health care or telecommunications.
