What an amazing first JI Day of Development! On Monday, July 15th, current and graduated high school students from across Iowa came together to develop essential skills for the workplace, college, and beyond. The workshop aligned with World Youth Skills Day, emphasizing the importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Sessions on leadership, communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and growth mindset provided valuable insights for the students. This event provided an excellent opportunity for students to prepare for their future and connect with professionals.
