Get Career Ready with 4-H!

Calling all teens ages 13+! Are you thinking about getting your first job, applying for an internship, or preparing for college and future career opportunities? Join us for the 4-H Career Readiness Workshop Series and gain the skills and confidence to take your next steps!
This five-part virtual workshop series will connect teens with professionals from Cornell Cooperative Extension, Finger Lakes Community College, and Cornell University to explore important career-readiness skills. Each session will include practical tips, real-world advice, and opportunities to ask questions and build skills you can use right away.
Workshop Schedule:

• December 8 – Job Searches & Applications: Learn where to find job opportunities, how to complete applications, and how to reach out about internships and job shadowing.
• January 12 – Resumes: Learn how to create a resume that highlights your experiences, accomplishments, and strengths—even if you've never had a job!
• February 9 – Cover Letters: Discover how to write a cover letter that helps you stand out and make a great first impression.
• March 9 – Interviewing Skills: Build confidence in your interviewing abilities and learn how to answer questions, present yourself professionally, and make a positive impression.
All sessions begin at 7:00 PM via Zoom.
By the end of the series, participants will have the tools to create a portfolio, resume, and cover letter, along with valuable knowledge to help them navigate job searches and interviews.
Whether you're preparing for your first summer job or thinking ahead to your future career, this series is a great opportunity to get a head start!
