Workshops with Common Wealth Development
In addition to our intensive youth employment and financial programs, Common Wealth Development also offer two workshop based programs. We collaborate with schools and other community agencies to bring them and their students our JobSmart and Your Money and You Workshops. This enables these organizations to provide their students with a broader curriculum and us the opportunity to help more youth understand the basics of successful job hunting and money management. To inquire about setting up a workshop, please contact Tariq Pasha Saqqaf at (608) 256-3527, ext. 13 or via email at tariq@cwd.org.
Common Wealth’s JobSmart Workshops take the mystery out of job search strategies and explain the secrets of effective job applications. In addition, mock interviews help students learn what it will be like having to answer typical interview questions. We focus on strengthening their skills and giving them the confidence to apply and intwerview successfully for their first job.
Our Your Money and You Workshops help youth figure out how to maximize their paycheck once they start earning one. We teach them the basics of saving and budgeting, help them understand financial institutions, and discuss some big mistakes to avoid.
