“We are providing classes on resume writing, interviewing skills, networking, a pathway to your career, dressing for success, and other soft skills,” said Pastor Matthew Jenkins. “These classes will be taught by leaders in these fields.”
Pastor Jenkins said the goal of LEAP is to prepare youths for success life after school. All of the workshops will be held at VOF’s Rockdale campus.
