STEPS workshop addresses job interviewing

2/27/2013

0 Comments

 
Kudos to former Will C Wood teacher and advisor, Debbie Garcia for conducting the STEPS workshop today, which just happened to be her birthday!!!  Mary Harris and Suzan Hey did a fabulous job of assisting, and Carole Warren provided some yummy Jambalaya!  The gals were given tips for making a good impression when interviewing and were shown what NOT to do which added some humor to the exercise.  I'm interested in getting some feedback from the Soroptimist who have been attending the workshops.  What have you discovered about these amazing young women that surprises you?  Do you feel we are providing relevant and helpful information and are we succeeding in helping them develop life skills?  What is working?  What is not working?  Is there anything we could do better?
Feel free to add your comments.....

Chief Word is one of our favorite speakers and he did not disappoint us yesterday as he addressed several issues facing the Vacaville Police Department,  our community and the schools.  The Chief credited reduced staff and the distressed economy as contributors to the uprise of crime in Vacaville.  He also spoke about efforts to secure safe environments on our school campuses.  In light of the recent school shootings in Conneticut, the Chief and members of the Vacaville School District are meeting to discuss possible solutions. He also discussed the many on going efforts of the force to work with troubled youth and homeless youth in our community.
VP and program chair, Sandy  Esparza, presented Chief Word with a Live Your Dream pin and encouraged him to visit the Live Your Dream website.
