HRWise is proud to launch E.D.G.E. (Empower.Discover.Grow.Excel) – a youth development programme designed to equip young persons, ages 16-21, with the information and skills required to effectively transition from the school environment into the workplace.
The programme includes a three-week summer workshop, followed by three-month internship opportunities for participants who are ready to join the workforce.
E.D.G.E is aimed at providing coaching and guidance to young adults to improve the caliber of employees entering the workplace every year. “Based on our experience in the HR field, we recognize that employers are generally unrealistic in their expectations related to school leavers. We are expecting persons who have been in a school setting for the past 15 years or more to seamlessly transition into the workplace with no orientation” said Ms. Goretti Paul, Managing Director. In the absence of formal orientation programmes in most organizations, HRWise has decided to take action to address this issue, and bridge the existing gap.
E.D.G.E. is concerned with the holistic development of young adults and will cover a broad range of topics towards this end. Interested individuals, as well as corporate citizens, are invited to partner with HRWise to make a meaningful impact on the social transformation of Saint Lucia’s future workforce.
Ms. Paul added: “We are committed to this programme because we are confident that it will give participants the EDGE to stand out and shine, as engaged new entrants in the workplace”.
The summer programme starts July 25 and will be held annually. Anyone interested in being part of this programme can contact HRWise for more details at 758-458-4001 or [email protected].
