The Skills for Success Program helps unemployed or underemployed Albertans from the greater Strathmore area improve their skills in the following areas:
- Reading
- Writing
- Numeracy
- Digital
- Problem-solving
- Communication
- Collaboration
- Adaptability
- Creativity
- Innovation
Using art-based learning, participants engage in structured lessons to learn the Skills for Success and to move closer to the work force.
The program includes 5 weeks of skill-building in the classroom, followed by 7 weeks of applying the new skills to develop public art projects in the Strathmore community. Working on a public art project allows participants to build their community networks and further their employability skills while receiving career advising and employment support from Prospect.
A new group of participants begins every 12 weeks. Scheduling is flexible and modified to meet the needs of participants within each group.
