The Moffat County Work and Life Skills Program Coalition is attempting to narrow the list of work force skills it will teach local students in its upcoming program.

The coalition, which includes members of the local education and business communities, has created an online survey that asks community members to weigh in on essential topics for its program to help students find success as working adults.

The program is scheduled to start in January. Funds from Colorado Works, the state welfare program, will fund the four-month extracurricular course.

There is no deadline for completing the survey.
