Student panel members included (L-R): Theodore Szalay, Lisa Marie Albright, Tracy Donovan, Tangeana May, Kerry Johnson, Peggy Hastings

July 26, 2010 -- The JVS Adult Career Center's Computerized Business Technology (CBT) program kicked off their discussion on Employability Skills with a "Dressing for Success" workshop. The workshop was led by a panel of students who presented information about appropriate attire for a job interview.

The student panel conducted research, provided handouts for the students, and led an informative discussion. To reinforce their topic, the students provided a demonstration by dressing in formal interview attire, business casual attire, and attire that would not be inappropriate for a job interview.

"The students did a very good job of researching this topic and conveying to their fellow students the need to start slow, build your wardrobe, and be confident with yourself and your skills," stated CBT Instructor Terri Brennan.

Employability Skills will continue to be taught throughout the CBT Program. Additional topics to be covered include resume and cover letter writing, interviewing skills, and positive job performance attitudes. The students' hard work will culminate with a workplace internship in May.
