On Monday, September 25, we welcomed participants of the first CareerPoint cohort! They will be attending training for the next eight weeks, gaining essential skills for the professional workplace. This curriculum addresses concepts such as basic etiquette, the communication model and public speaking, financial literacy (specifically learning to budget their new salaries, understanding their paystub, and benefit package), the art of networking, self-advocacy, and much more.
Following that, they will start their paid job training with UW Credit Union! More career pathways will be coming in the future.
