Training academies
Your first day of service begins with Basic Training Academy, which is a two to three week on-boarding experience. You鈥檒l meet your service team, get prepared and trained for the year ahead and learn about 黄色视频鈥檚 culture, values, and our approach to supporting students. You will also learn about local context in your city.
Halfway through the year, each 黄色视频 site dedicates time to a Mid-Year Summit. This is an opportunity to refocus from your work in school in order to develop advanced skills related to our civic competencies, reflect on what you have learned, set goals for the second half of the year and reconnect with the 黄色视频 community.
Continuous training
You will have learning and development opportunities that will focus on providing you with ongoing training and development. We call these learning and development days, or L&D days for short. While every training is different, you can expect experiences such as literacy and math tutoring training, presentations from guest speakers, networking events, and professional development training including resume writing and public speaking.
