JAENC Pilots JA Essential Employability Skills Workshops

Junior Achievement of Eastern NC will pilot its JA Essential Employability Skills Workshops in area schools during November and December, 2021.

Each 90-minute workshop consists of 3 sessions. JA volunteers will discuss 3 topics per session. Pilot topics include: Communication in the Workplace, Cellphones in the Workplace and Communicating About Yourself.

These workshops will help students understand the value of professional communication and soft skills, making them more employable to future employers across multiple career clusters.

Lessons will focus on social and soft skill competencies relating real-life experiences to job skills and preparing students for their future careers.

Please contact Gerri Brodman (919)821-2100 or gerri@jaoenc.org for more information.
