Bridging the Gap Virtual Career Month

The purpose of the “Resume Building” workshop is to assist youth in creating a resume that accurately and professionally reflects their skills, experience, and objectives. The goal of this workshop is to provide young people with a tangible takeaway to aid in their job search. More than the resume, this workshop should emphasize youths’ strengths and help each young person to more easily identify their positive qualities and experiences. Volunteers will work one-on-one with young people to develop and appropriately format resume content. A primary skill for volunteers in this workshop is the ability to tease out strengths and experiences from youth who may not have substantial vocational or educational backgrounds.
