Pre-Vocational Skills 

Pre-vocational skills are aspects of the working world that should be understood and practiced prior to obtaining employment, particularly for those who strive for a successful, empowering career.  Examples of these types of skills are responsibility, time management, problem solving, critical thinking, and other soft skills that are transferrable among and between jobs.  This type of education is necessary for those who are not yet sure where their career path will take them.  Therefore the goal of pre-vocational skills training at Chosen for Success is to prepare students and clients for wherever their path may lead them with skills that are applicable in any and all workplaces.
