Clarksville, TN – Convergys Community Action Network (CAN) volunteers in Clarksville, Tennessee partnered with the LEAP Organization to support their Career Readiness Program. LEAP, which stands for Leadership, Enlightenment, Achievement, and Perseverance, is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to instill positive moral growth and sustainable life skills in youth.
The goal of LEAP’s Career Readiness Program is to provide youth ages 16 to 24 with critical job skills to prepare them for entry into the workforce.
This experience included a site tour, typing tests, mock interviews, and a group call calibration.
“I am very proud and impressed with the participants of this program,” said Andrew Tisoskey, site director for Clarksville.” They did a great job in their mock interviews and received pointers from the team on how better to prepare for the real thing.”
Convergys is excited about this new partnership with LEAP. “We get to play an active in role in the development of our local youth (and our future hiring pool), and we’re looking forward to working with the next group of program participants,” added Tisoskey.
“It’s a beautiful thing when company leaders invest their knowledge and experience to help develop youth into future business leaders,” said Richard Garrett, Executive Director of the LEAP Organization. “We will continue to seek other Partners in Employment that are willing to commit to aiding us in preparing youth for the workforce.”
