- Greetings, Students and Teachers! Below you will find instructional materials to help facilitate the Blueprint for Workplace Success Soft Skills Program.
WHY GET BLUEPRINT CERTIFIED?
- 1.) Employers report that potential applicants lack soft skills when it comes to getting a job. These skills include things like eye contact and body language, interviewing skills, professionalism, curating a resume, etc. The Blueprint for Workplace Success program teaches these skills and others to give kids the tools and confidence to get a job.
- 2.) Successful completion of the Blueprint Program will allow students to be eligible for interviews on the spot at CVUHSD's upcoming job fair in April.
- 3.) Also, those students completing the Blueprint Program will be eligible to interview for select academy-specific internships over the summer paying $14.25 hr.
- 4.) Plus, students can add "Blueprint Certified" to their resumes, which will unlock employment opportunities at participating South Bay businesses.
HOW DO I GET BLUEPRINT CERTIFIED?
Several academy teachers at all three school sites will be teaching the curriculum in the classroom. However, if you do not have access to the Blueprint instruction in the classroom, you can still get the training for free at the Hawthorne Memorial Center during Spring Break and other scheduled times. If you wish to learn more about specific dates and times, please contact Ms. Engelbert at en[email protected].
