Our Work Essential Skills Training Program for teens is designed to help students prep for work/volunteer opportunities. Through a comprehensive curriculum, participants will engage in morning sessions focused on topics such as resumes and cover letters, email etiquette, team dynamics and professionalism guidelines (including dress codes, conflict resolution and managing social media presence). Students will look within to create a personal strength portfolio, helping them with self-awareness and confidence.
In the afternoons (Tuesday - Friday), participants will apply their newfound skills and knowledge by volunteering at our Design Works Summer camps. This hands-on experience will allow them to further develop their teamwork, communication and leadership skills.
Overall, our program aims to empower students to become well-rounded individuals equipped with the essential tools to succeed in their professional careers and personal endeavors while fostering a spirit of community service and social responsibility.
This course is designed for ages 13 - 16.
