Maturity and Professionalism are Key to Success
Corporations seek mature and responsible young individuals equipped with practical skills and knowledge. However, many recent entrants into the workforce are underskilled and lack essential qualities like time management and professionalism, which are not effectively taught in schools. A program initiated by an educator focuses on instilling these qualities through structured expectations and consequences, such as accountability for tardiness.

This initiative targets the male college student deficit by offering a free education and job opportunities in a revived learning institution, thus addressing a critical gap in workforce preparedness.
