Classroom workshops are hands-on and interactive presentations that incorporate audiovisual components and handouts/exercises to engage various learning styles. Presentations are specifically designed for high school students, and cover topics that are relevant to current issues students need to address in order to successfully transition into the workplace or a higher education environment. Presentations are approximately 40 minutes.
All workshops are offered at no charge. Contact us any time to determine if we’re available to cover your classes should you become ill, are attending a professional development activity, or have an unexpected situation occur, etc.
