School-To-Work Day© Program

Dec. 29, 2009 - PRLog -- Work for Peace, Inc. (WFP, Inc.) was founded on the belief that one of the most effective ways to improve the quality of life of an individual of any age is to give them the knowledge and skills necessary to secure a job paying a living wage.  They believe that living wage jobs lead to peace of mind, peace in communities and peace in the world.  WFP Inc.’s mission is to provide the work skills training, career exposure and job placement youth and adults need to succeed in a rewarding career.  

To achieve this objective WFP, Inc. has partnered with the international staffing firm Rangam Consultants, Inc. to provide internship, part-time and full-time opportunities for qualified individuals participating in their programs.  The Rangam team understands what skills are required by corporations for placement.  Together Rangam and WFP, Inc. utilize the book School To Work To Success to ensure that the individuals participating in WFP, Inc. programs learn the skills that are most important to finding and succeeding in a job.  To increase exposure of students to role models and career opportunities they utilize a program created by WFP, Inc. Founder Dale G. Caldwell called School-To-Work Day©.  This unique program exposes students to life at the workplace and motivates them to seriously consider careers in business and the professions.  

In addition, the program motivates some corporations to set up internships with students from the participating school districts.  During School-To-Work Day© students from one or more public schools visit a corporate, government or nonprofit organization to learn about careers that they otherwise might never know about.  This is not a shadow day.  Instead, it is an inspiring career education day organized by human resource professionals, corporate leaders and teachers.
