Career Exploration Workshops

Career exploration workshops are offered in a nonjudgmental girl-centered space to allow for peer support and conversations that address unique issues women often face in the workplace.

Workshops are also designed to strengthen students’ confidence and empower them to harness their own skills and strengths as they build their futures. The program consists of a series of learning modules that can be delivered individually or in a series to a cohort of students. 

Topics include Motivation; Time Management & Organization; Advocacy at Work; Communication; Leadership; Marketing Yourself; Personal Finance and more.
