More Qualified Than You Think: Finding Leadership in the Experience You Already Have

Think leadership only counts if you have the title? Think again!

If you've balanced work and school, supported your family, mentored a peer, solved problems on the job, volunteered in your community, or stepped up when others needed you, you've likely developed leadership skills already—you just may not recognize them yet.

Join Teach For America for this interactive virtual workshop designed to help you identify the strengths you've already built and confidently communicate them in applications, interviews, networking conversations, and future career opportunities.

?? During this workshop, you'll:

• Recognize leadership experience you may have overlooked


• Identify transferable skills from work, campus involvement, service, and everyday life


• Practice connecting your experiences to the skills employers value most


• Build confidence telling your leadership story

?? This workshop is a great fit if you...

• Wonder whether you're "qualified enough"


• Don't think you have much leadership experience


• Are preparing for internships, jobs, or Teach For America


• Want to better tell your story in interviews and applications

Whether you're exploring Teach For America or simply thinking about your next steps, you'll leave with practical tools you can use right away.

?? Reserve your spot today - we'd love to learn with you!

 

No prior leadership title or experience is required. This is a free, virtual event open to students and young professionals of all majors, experience levels, and intended career paths. If you can't make it live, consider registering to receive access to the recorded workshop.
