We want to bring to your attention an opportunity that Kinsella Arts, Inc (KAI) in partnership with Pratt Whitney has offered to our high school students for the past several years.
This year Pratt & Whitney’s Hispanic Leadership Forum (HLF) has expanded its partnership with Kinsella Arts, Inc to include Pratt’s Asian American Leadership Forum (AALF). Volunteer mentors from Pratt will focus on aiding high school students in Resume Preparation and Developing Interviewing Skills, with the first day focusing on Resume Prep and the second day focusing on Developing Interviewing Skills. We are expecting 32 students so in addition to Pratt employees we are looking for as many volunteers as possible to try to get to one-on-one or two-on-one interactions with the students for optimal mentoring.
Come out to provide some great career development for these high schoolers! Or, if you’d rather, just come out to watch this program in action! Kinsella Arts takes great pride in how our community partnerships have directly benefited the students at the Kinsella Magnet School of Performing Arts!
Please RSVP me if you’d like to come out for one or both of the days. If you also want to volunteer to mentor a student, please let me know that as well in your RSVP. For those of you that want to mentor, a prep document will be sent out with some hints and reminders for resumes and interviewing that you can use if you are looking for something to reference.
When: 3/29 & 4/26: Resume Prep and Interviewing Skills at Kinsella
Where: The R.J. Kinsella Magnet School of Performing Arts at 245 Locust Street, Hartford, CT
Time: 1-2pm
Thank you and hope to see you there!
