Skills You’ll Build

“Strengthening my communication skills helped me feel more confident speaking up during interviews and meetings. It also improved my understanding of what to include when sending emails or creating presentations at work.”

“Learning how to identify and prioritize my work tasks helped me better understand what was expected of me and how to organize my work days to come through for my team and impress my employer.”

“Boosting my critical thinking skills helped me work more independently and take on more challenging tasks with confidence.”

“Understanding that causes of conflict in the workplace helped me prepare for how to respond on the job. Having that response ready helped me take conflict less personally and gave me the tools I needed to address issues and get back to work.”

“I felt intimidated by the process of interviewing for a job because I didn’t have much experience. Learning and practicing job interview skills calmed my nerves and helped me be myself during interviews, helping employers see the value I could bring to their team.”

“With very little work experience, it was difficult for me to begin creating my resume. Learning more about strengths and qualities that employers are looking for helped me understand how to present myself on a resume, describing my strengths in a way that helped employers take notice.”

“Understanding what employers are looking for helped me line up my resume information and job interview discussions to get noticed. It also helped me be more prepared to begin my first day on the job.”
