    Description

    Share your expertise and interest with students at a NYC public school teaching a seminar session(s) on professionalism, through the W!se Institute. Sessions cover a variety of topics from understanding Job Readiness required to get and keep a job in high-growth industries. Students will explore the crucial workplace skills employers seek but often find lacking in young employees.

    Seminars are 8-10 consecutive weeks. Volunteers can choose to teach one or more sessions. Each session is 45 minutes. Dates and times will be based on availability. Teach on your own, or team up with other people!

    About the W!se Institute: Launched in 1993, the W!se Institute holds hour-long, interactive seminars for students during the school day that focus on career skills and opportunities, college preparation and lifelong learning skills. Seminars are delivered by industry experts and faculty.
