Chad Foster, author of a book on work preparation for teen-agers and the host of ``Fly Fishing Today'' on ESPN, will share his skills for success Thursday.

Foster will meet with sophomores and teachers at Camden and Northeastern high schools at 10:15 a.m. in the Northeastern gymnasium.

Later in the day, Foster will discuss JobReady issues and work force success with teachers, community leaders and residents at 7 p.m. in Room 202 of the B Building at College of The Albemarle.

Foster, who was able to ``retire'' at 33, gives advice from successful people in his book, ``Teen-agers - Preparing for the Real World.''

The book will be offered for free at the COA presentation Thursday evening, which is open to the public.
