Saturday, March 15: Job Search 101: Getting Ready for a Summer Job

On Saturday, March 15, 2008, a Job Readiness Workshop for girls ages 14 and up will be held at the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St, from 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm. The Girls Inc Group of YWCA of Racine will host the event in cooperation with the Racine Public Library and the Workforce Development Center/Career Discovery Center. The workshop is offered at no cost, but pre-registration on or before March 7 is required.

The workshop will present information specifically for girls who may be entering the job market for the very first time. Topics covered will include exploring job possibilities, preparing for interviews, and tips for good job skills in a new position. There will be sample applications to fill out, and mock interviews, as well as a 'fashion show' involving appropriate dress.

Girls Inc is a national research, education, and direct advocacy organization that inspires girls to be strong, smart and bold. The program is affiliated through the YWCA of Racine and currently has a number of programs running in Lighted Schoolhouse programs and at 21st Century Preparatory School.
