Communication and enthusiasm come up as the #1 and #2 missing skills. Developing strong soft skills like: How to Network, Time Management, Teamwork, Credit Scores, Problem Solving and Professionalism may likely result in our youth surpassing their peers in many areas of life! We will attack these skills in an entertaining age appropriate manner that will keep this special tween/teen age range engaged. This is a drop off class.
