Over the 15 years that Together We Can Foundation staff have developed and refined the Smart Transitions Life-Work Portfolio Course we have encountered two challenges. The first is that we have far more useful information than we could present around the topic of transitioning into adult life and the workforce than we have time to present. The second is that our mode of delivery for this course is small group and classroom-oriented, so we were unable to effectively serve individual youth wishing to participate in the training. Our answer has been to develop Smart Transitions Online: A Self-Paced, Digital Course Preparing You for Adult Life. This program expands our life skills courses for young adults, offering flexible, on-demand access for those preparing for work, independence, and adult life.
A Self-Paced Digital Course Preparing You for Adult Life
What Is Smart Transitions Online?
- learning about and being more prepared for the challenges and opportunities of adult life.
- developing their own mentor team and support network.
- preparing a professional resume.
- increasing their self-awareness and self-confidence.
- establishing a life-work transition plan.
- identifying and communicating their own attractive work brand.
- understanding what employers are looking for in the workers they hire, retain, and promote.
- creating a physical and digital personal presentation portfolio.
Who Is This For?
What You Need to Participate
Youth will need regular access to a computer (desktop or laptop) with internet access. Some work can be done on a tablet or smartphone, but it is much easier to complete the course document uploading requirements on a dedicated computer.
After completing the program, youth will be able to access their archived data on their smartphone or tablet to facilitate the work application process.
