Traditional school curriculums often overlook practical life skills such as how to buy a car or a home, start a business, or become an effective leader. Our Life Skills programs prepare teens with essential skills and knowledge areas that are critical to becoming a competent and successful adult. Our Life Skills programs include Personal Finance, Introduction to Investing, How to Start a Business, Career Planning, and Effective Leadership.
Our mission at My Skills Prep is simple; to empower teens and young adults with the knowledge and skills to be successful. My Skills Prep offers year-round virtual camps and enrichment programs for teens ages 14-19 that are taught in live class sessions. Our programs are centered on evidence-based curriculum that includes core skills for success, life preparedness, and college preparation. Our programs are delivered in live interactive sessions with our instructor so that students receive personalized attention while having opportunities to interact with other students.
