Description
The UndocuScholars Academy was designed to empower undocumented students through an 8-week, small-group, interactive seminar series. The program is restricted to 15 students per session in order to optimize interaction by all participants. Students will focus on career development, resume, interviewing, and job/graduate school preparation and skills all students will need in order to thrive in their careers. Every seminar is in-person every Friday from 12pm-1:30pm for 8 weeks + Orientation. All accepted students will be notified of the exact room location before the start of the academy. Upon completion, students will receive a certificate and a $250 Kohls gift card.
