The Career Camp is poised to provide 150 attendees with the tools to achieve success in the search for direct employment. We have confirmed a number of top companies to feature their positions for both adult and youth leaders on the South and West side of Chicago.
Over this 2-day event (AUGUST 22nd and AUGUST 23rd), our staff will assist job seekers in mastering the fundamentals of attaining a job, and working hard to achieve success in life. During the high school sessions for 16-19 year olds (there are separate sessions for adults), Matt and other industry leaders will pass on new learnings, best practices, and encourage participants to take advantage of the days opportunities for direct employment. Sessions include resume creation, etiquette, branding, financial literacy, and more. Having an opportunity to hear directly from various sectors will allow students and community members (adults) to lean into lucrative careers that they’ve traditionally not had access to. Sessions for adults will mirror the teens with germane career support opportunities geared toward life altering employment avenues. The What’s Your Forté Foundation’s goal for the camp is to introduce and highlight Chicagoland employment while providing another mechanism for youth and adults to access new revenue streams thereby increasing economic advancement.
