Our six-week summer intensive and after-school workforce development program is a paid opportunity for young adults that helps youth develop leadership skills, earn a wage, and network into job and training opportunities in Detroit. Workshops, theater exercises, guest speakers, and experience-based learning combine to help interns build their “Big 10 Skill Sets”: Verbal & Non-Verbal Communication; Professional Etiquette; Collaboration & Teamwork; Leadership; Public Presentation; Financial Literacy; Remote Work Skills; Community Engagement; Critical Thinking & Problem Solving; and Confidence. Field trips and active citizenry experiences help our interns learn with Detroit as their classroom.
