Palmdale Youth Job AcademyPALMDALE – There is still time to register for the upcoming “Palmdale Works! Youth Job Academy.”

Classes for Session One will be held Mondays and Wednesdays, from Jan. 25 through Feb. 10.

Session Two classes will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays, from Feb. 23 through March 10.

Classes in both sessions will be held from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Chimbole Cultural Center, 38550 Sierra Highway in Palmdale.
