My Project

Our high school students will be participating in the “Skills to Pay the Bills” Program. Students who attend this free program will master soft skills for the workplace during and after high school. The program will be centered around engaging activities framed around six key skill areas: budgeting skills, communication skills, savings skills, teamwork skills, employment skills and leadership skills.

The requested books, activities and materials will be used to educate the students on the six key soft skills.

Once the students has mastered the skills, they will provide mini workshops to other students in the high school.
