Community partners have announced the program dates and curriculum for the Legacy Project: Career Ready Collective. The Career Ready Collective is a community-driven, career development program to prepare youth for the future of work, funded by the Principal Charity Classic’s Legacy Project with support from Sammons Financial. The primary objective of the Career Ready Collective is to introduce youth to a variety of professional skills that will increase their knowledge and confidence. Participants will be inspired by nationally recognized keynote speakers, develop their professional skills and network with interns and business professionals from across the region. The curriculum for the program, which will run for six weeks in June and July, was developed by the Greater Des Moines Partnership with support from the Robert D. and Billie Ray Center at Drake University. It will cover topics such as personal finance, networking, growth mindset and collaboration. Individuals or organizations interested in supporting the Career Ready Collective or learning how youth can get involved can contact Lexi Shafer, the Partnership’s director of workforce, at lshafer@DSMpartnership.com.
