Our Cohort 6: Neighborhood Narrators

• The program began with intensive self-assessment workshops where interns learned to identify their core strengths, transferable skills, and professional interests. These insights became the building blocks for crafting compelling resumes and cover letters that effectively showcase their unique value propositions to potential employers.
• Knowledge building formed a crucial component of their development, with focused sessions on Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) fundamentals. Interns explored critical workplace topics including anti-discrimination policies, workplace harassment prevention, reasonable accommodations under the ADA, diversity and inclusion best practices, and understanding protected classes. 

Through this comprehensive approach combining self-reflection, knowledge acquisition, and practical application, our interns emerged as well-rounded professionals ready to make meaningful contributions to their future workplaces and communities.
