Run2Success Scholarship Foundation partnered with Dream Academy Foundation and volunteers from ComEd to host our first event, a Career Readiness Workshop. A youth-focused development experience designed to prepare students for success in college, careers, and professional environments. The workshop introduces participants to essential skills needed to navigate the workforce, including resume building, interview preparation, communication skills, and professional etiquette.

Students engage in interactive activities such as mock interviews, group discussions, and real-world scenario practice to build confidence and improve their ability to present themselves effectively in academic and professional settings. The workshop also provides exposure to various career pathways through guest speakers, community professionals, and mentorship opportunities.

In addition to technical skills, the workshop emphasizes leadership development, self-advocacy, and goal setting, helping students understand how personal responsibility and preparation contribute to long-term success.

Overall, the Career Readiness Workshop equips students with practical tools, increased confidence, and clearer direction as they prepare for postsecondary education and future careers.
