Like many, we at the Ajilla Foundation had to pivot strategies due to Covid-19. What was supposed to have been an in person experience to expose high school and college students to various careers opportunities and corporations throughout the Chicagoland area, eventually became a global virtual experience that connected professionals with our our future leaders.
The purpose of these sessions was for professionals to share their personal, educational and professional experiences with the participants. The topics that were discussed include:
Education and Professional Journey
College Admission
Entrepreneurship
Business Ideas
Career Focused Topics
Finances
How to pay for college
Impact
Mental Health and Well Being
Civic Engagement
Thanks to the an amazing group of leaders who made this experience possible.
"I was exposed to so many different fields and journeys that I never would have otherwise."
