Mt. Carmel CEO is looking for a new facilitator in our team-teaching model. We have always had a team of two facilitators that have introduced students to large and small business owners, that tell their story of success and failure. In each interaction, these community leaders share life lessons that come from hands-on experience and not from a book. Ultimately, the goal is to learn how to start and run a business, but many of the lessons students learn are really good soft skills like effective public speaking, resume building, networking, financial and budgetary literacy, work ethic, etiquette, and market strategy, among others.
The benefits of this program and the opportunities that are available because of it are endless. If you are seeking to make a difference in the lives of students then we have a great opportunity for you.
