Workshop Description:

The class will focus on building strategies that will assist student and adult learners in bridging the disconnect between graduation and career path. This workshop will build a foundation for students to understand and develop innovative strategies for internships and mentorships as they prepare for next steps on their career path. This workshop will assist educators at ALL levels to better understand the proficiency skills that need to be improved, emphasized and built for students to be successful after high school graduation. It is never too early to begin discussions with students to guide them toward the proficiency skills needed for their aspirations and hopes. The participants will research local companies and qualifications required for best hiring practices.
