They're learning how to take an engine apart. And how to put their future together.

The high school dropout, the unemployed and underemployed, the veteran who needs civilian skills—they've all got a solid chance at a solid future thanks to an organization called the Opportunities Industrialization Center.
  
We at Exxon believe the OIC is one of the most effective groups around for training the disadvantaged for meaningful jobs and then getting them placed in one. For example, the OIC is running this station in Camden, New Jersey, as a training center. The students here learn everything from pumping gasoline, to taking an engine apart and rebuilding it, to running a business. At the same time, the students are encouraged to continue their education at both the high school and college levels. And when they complete their training, the OIC will help place them in jobs. Jobs with a future. 
  
Exxon made this station available to the OIC as a job training center and we've underwritten many of the costs. We think it's one of our best investments.
