Workshop-Packed Week for 3A, 3P, CCR-A, & CCR-P Classes
Workforce Readiness workshop series with Workforce 1 for our 3A, 3P, CCR-A, & CCR-P classes just kicked off this Monday with learning in person how to access Workforce 1 Center, and virtually how to conduct a job search the next day. On Wednesday, the students had fun learning how to protect themselves in self-defense workshops with our new partner, Asian Americans for Equality. We hope the workshops helped the students prepare to find a good job and to stay safe.
Health Workshops
Simon’s 2A and 2P class students participated in health workshops to learn how to describe symptoms of an illness in English and how to read and understand medicine labels. The workshops were provided by our old partner agency, Ryan Health which has always been giving interesting workshops including the nutrition workshops that took place for our 1B, 1C, 2A, and 2P classes 2 weeks ago. We hope that we can have in-person workshops again with their interesting actual materials in the future.

Resume Workshops
Our new partner, Hot Bread Kitchen visited our school to give workshops to our College and Career Readiness Classes students. The students learned about how to write a resume, especially what the purpose and use of resumes are, how to create a resume that shows experiences and skills, and what should and should not be on resumes. Our students were very engaged and impressive according to the presenter!
