requirements:
- You
are regularly employed by a company that is covered by Workers
Compensation Insurance (no personal housekeeping, babysitting,
yardwork,etc.) and work an average of at least 10 hours

choose to do so. You will learn job interviewing techniques,
how to prepare your resume, how to be an excellent employee,
what employers are looking for, how to evaluate your own job
performance, how to get along with coworkers and your employer,
and much more! The curriculum is different first semester from

the year.
