The Parker High School Student Chapter-IAAP collaborated with the Alethia House, a facility for recovering addicts, to provide a resume’ writing workshop, in an effort to help residents become gainfully employed upon completion of the program.
A clothing drive also occurred at that time for
the participants to receive business attire to “dress for success.”
There were approximately 25 participants of the Alethia House. In phase
one of the workshop participants were interviewed by a member of
the Parker High School student chapter.
Upon collecting the data, the participant moved to the second phase of
the workshop where Parker High School chapter members, armed with
individual laptops, typed and printed the resumes. The final phase of
the workshop consisted of assistance from the Alabama Power Chapter-IAAP
student chapter committee members who then critiqued the resumes and
made recommendations for changes.
