LaunchPad
The fall session classes will be posted August 3!
LaunchPad
LaunchPad is a new program we're offering to assist parents with teaching teens life skills & giving them career exploration opportunities. All teens will start with the onboarding class. This class is the first two weeks covering expectations, career exploration/ life skill opportunities and student interest. The next eight weeks students can explore life skills in the Life-U course which includes a different life skill each week or focus on a specific career path. Below you will find details about each course option.
Life -U Course
Do you want your teen to learn life skills but not sure where to turn? Life - U is the solution to teach our kids life skills outside of our wheelhouse as parents. Each session parents and experts in different skills or trades will offer teens the opportunity to increase their knowledge of life skills to better prepare them for adult life.
Career Path Course
Job Shadowing: Teens that are trying to figure out their career path can job shadow professionals in careers they are interested in. Job shadowing opportunities will be posted on the LaunchPad member's page.
Job Skills: A list of businesses that are offering skill training in their industry will be posted on the member's page. Parents can reach out to the contacts for these businesses to arrange a training schedule.
