This would increase in-depth engagement, motivation, and real-world applications by allowing students to take part in work-site tours and volunteer work. Students would further their career development and exploration through observation and learning about job descriptions and requirements in various job settings. Volunteer and intern work would also allow students to practice soft and hard skills in a variety of real-world settings. Workplace Readiness Training will be completed through employability and life skills classes. In these classes, students will learn about interpersonal communication, active listening, time management, and leadership skills.
