“It sounded too good to be true,” said Lewis Adams, 20, of Rehoboth.

“I checked out the Web site, and it seemed too good to be true,” said Kendalyn Phillips, 21, of Providence.

Phillips and Adams were among 22 local graduates of Year Up http://www.yearup.org/ , a program that offers high school or GED graduates six months of classroom training and six months of job apprenticeship. The most recent crop of Year Up grads were honored at a ceremony at the Westin Providence hotel this month.
