Besides helping the students learn about getting jobs, the program helps them learn about themselves. They learn about their different inter- ests, their attitudes towards their career choices, the goals they want to achieve and who they want to be in life. Through the help of the Counselor's Office and the English classes, the students will know how to fill out an application correctly, how to dress for an interview, and how to conduct themselves during an interview.
