Emplo y ment Training
Ha v e Dreams Academ y Real workplace internships in a variety of local area businesses provided our Have Dreams Academy interns with important resume-building experiences. Our job readiness curriculum paired with these on-the-job internships in retail, manufacturing and office settings, enabled our HDA participants to develop and practice transferable job skills. Daily instruction of the HDA curriculum covers topics including workplace etiquette, problem-solving, accepting feedback, time management, along with opportunities to develop resumes, participate in practice interviews and build teamwork and leadership skills.
Transition
Ha v e Dreams Academ y at North w estern Uni v ersit y In collaboration with Northwestern University, HDA@NU students receive real workplace experiences through internships within various campus departments at the University, plus daily instruction fostering soft and hard skills for the workplace, job development and coaching.
Have Dreams staff pivoted our adult programs to virtual service delivery. With on- campus internships at Northwestern disrupted in March 2020, Have Dreams staff offered virtual employment training and instructional content to all our HDA@NU students, keeping them engaged and connected, and enabling them to complete their Have Dreams Academy course. In June 2020, our HDA@NU staff personally delivered - safely and socially distanced - certificates of completion to each and every HDA@NU student to acknowledge and celebrate their graduation from this nine-month program.
