Description: Teach to Work : How a Mentor, a Mentee, and a Project Can Close the Skills Gap in America, Hardcover by Alper, Patricia, ISBN 1629561622, ISBN-13 9781629561622, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK "The United States is abundantly rich in adults with "know how." By connecting mentors--educated adults with expertise and knowledge--with mentees--teens and young adults who lack motivation, experience, and role models in their lives--we can begin to close this gap dramatically. We can prepare the next generation for the jobs of tomorrow by adding real world, project-based experience to their education. Teach to Work is a call to action for mentors currently sitting on the sidelines. Whether you are a banker, lawyer, architect, accountant, engineer, IT specialist, or artist, you have the experience and skillset to become an ambassador of talent, grit, and transferable skills. Th provides a step-by-step guide to help professionals share their knowledge with the next generation of workers through this intergenerational experience. Based on Alper's fifteen years of mentoring inner-city high-school students, Teach to Work proves how corporations, professionals, and boomers can have a significant impact on the professional future of America's youth. Drawing from real-life stories and letters received from students, teachers, and fellow mentors describing pride of accomplishment, Alper helps professionals embark on this journey to transform lives, mentoring one student at a time"--
