Intro to The Work Place CHOR preparing students for the workforce

 CHOR is planning to visit the Crown Plaza again on the 11th, 18th, and 25th of May for our program Intro Into the Work Place. Overall our first visit went very well. The students took a tour of the Crown Plaza and its different departments and participated in mock interviews with various department heads. The students were prepared with completed application in hand, well dressed, polite, and respectful and presented themselves as mature young adults. I was very proud of them.

Our next visit will consist of meeting with their HR person to review the many pre-employment documents (tax forms, code of conduct, and policies, etc.) they supplied us with earlier. Students will also have some time to observe and assist with some of the entry level jobs.

Thanks to all of you who have supported this opportunity to enrich our students experience here at CHOR.
