Career Bridge
The Career Bridge program is for adults who are ready to enter the workforce via a career path. RALC offers this program to adult students to help them gain valuable job search training and knowledge about career paths. Our Student Success Coach and Career Bridge volunteer mentors help students select a career path, navigate resources to start or enhance an entrepreneurship, or prepare to enter higher learning or vocational training. Participants acquire skills such as building a resume, drafting a professional email, interviewing in English, using word processing software, applying for jobs online, budgeting, and workplace norms. Training on an online learning platform also strengthens students’ digital skills while complementing their core coursework.
