The Accra Literacy Job/College Readiness Program is a transformative initiative designed to equip high school upperclassmen and adults with essential skills for academic and professional success. Through weekly hands-on workshops, participants will receive guidance on crafting strong resumes, writing impactful college essays, and delivering confident elevator pitches. With interactive exercises and personalized feedback, they will refine their application materials and communication skills, ensuring they are well-prepared for future opportunities. By focusing on career and college readiness, Accra Literacy aims to empower individuals in underserved communities, bridging the gap between ambition and achievement while fostering long-term success.
