The course encourages self-awareness, strengthens critical thinking, promotes effective communication skills, and encourages students to take personal responsibility for their own success, overcome personal barriers, and connect with community resources.

Mentors help keep students on task for academic expectations and progress and provide guidance and resources in order to successfully complete the program and launch their new career.
