Celebrating Success: Graduation Day for Goodwill South Florida’s Winter 2024 Career Exploration Program
Today was a big day at the Goodwill South Florida headquarters in Allapattah, Florida. Seven dedicated high school students graduated from the Goodwill South Florida Career Exploration Learning Program, completing an intensive 80-hour curriculum designed to empower them personally and professionally.
Supported by the Batchelor Foundation, this program has been more than just education; it’s created a strong sense of community among participants. From career exploration to financial literacy and digital skills, the curriculum covered everything our graduates need to succeed in their future careers.
Highlights of the program include:
-
Career Exploration: Through assessments and vision boarding, students discovered their interests, skills, and values, setting them on a clear path forward.
-
Admissions Process & Campus Life: Students gained insights into college applications, financial aid, and campus life, preparing them for higher education.
-
Employability & Soft Skills: From resume writing to conflict resolution, students honed essential skills for their personal and professional lives.
