THE EARL WOODS SCHOLAR PROGRAMSUPPORTING HIGH-POTENTIAL STUDENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED NEED AND A COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY SERVICE, THE EARL WOODS SCHOLAR PROGRAM PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND SO MUCH MORE. EACH EARL WOODS SCHOLAR RECEIVES A DEDICATED MENTOR, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, ENRICHMENT WORKSHOPS AND ONGOING COUNSEL FROM OUR STAFF. TO ENCOURAGE PERSONAL GROWTH AND ENHANCE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, THE EARL WOODS SCHOLAR PROGRAM PROVIDES AN ARRAY OF CAREER PLANNING AND ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOLARS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. BEFORE BEGINNING THEIR FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE, ALL INCOMING SCHOLARS ARE WELCOMED INTO THE PROGRAM THROUGH THE PRE-COLLEGE RETREAT, WHICH COVERS A SERIES OF TOPICS THAT HELP PREPARE STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE LIFE. ONE OF THE PROGRAM'S STAPLES IS THE WINTER WORKSHOP, HELD ANNUALLY AT THE FLAGSHIP TGR LEARNING LAB ANAHEIM. OVER THE COURSE OF THE THREE-DAY EVENT, SCHOLARS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY PARTICIPATE IN INFORMATIVE WORKSHOPS THAT INCLUDE RESUME WRITING, INTERVIEW TRAINING, GRADUATE SCHOOL AND HUMAN RESOURCES PREPARATION, INDUSTRY PANELS AND NETWORKING EVENTS. THE CORNERSTONE OF THE EARL WOODS SCHOLAR PROGRAM IS ITS MENTOR NETWORK. THESE VALUABLE RELATIONSHIPS ARE LIFE-CHANGING FOR SCHOLARS, MANY OF WHOM ARE FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS WITH LITTLE OR NO PRACTICAL GUIDANCE FOR CAREER AND COLLEGE PLANNING. EACH EARL WOODS SCHOLAR IS PARTNERED WITH A DEDICATED MENTOR WHO SERVES AS AN ADVOCATE, CAREER COACH, PERSONAL ADVISOR, AND ROLE MODEL THROUGHOUT THEIR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. AN EMPHASIS ON REAL-LIFE WORK AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED AMONG THE EARL WOODS SCHOLARS AS AN AVENUE TO BUILD POWER SKILLS, PREPARE FOR THE WORKPLACE AND FOSTER KNOWLEDGE OF A SPECIALIZED CAREER. THROUGH PROFESSIONAL ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES, SUCH AS JOB SHADOWING, INTERNSHIPS, INTERVIEW PREP, INDUSTRY PANELS AND MORE, THE PROGRAM PROVIDES VALUABLE RESOURCES AND INFORMATION THAT ASSIST SCHOLARS IN BUILDING THEIR RESUMES AS THEY PURSUE THEIR CAREER ASPIRATIONS. THE EARL WOODS SCHOLAR PROGRAM SUPPORTS ITS SCHOLARS BEYOND OBTAINING A COLLEGE DEGREE. TO ENSURE EACH SCHOLAR HAS A CLEAR AND FOCUSED EXIT STRATEGY UPON GRADUATION, WE HELP CREATE A PERSONALIZED CAREER PLAN THAT SUPPORTS THEIR DEFINITION OF SUCCESS. EARLY IN THEIR COLLEGE CAREER, WE INTEGRATE KEY ELEMENTS, SUCH AS SELF-ASSESSMENTS, CAREER EXPLORATION, DECISION-MAKING, AND ACTION STEPS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE NEXT STAGES OF THEIR CAREER PATHS. STARTING IN THEIR THIRD YEAR OF COLLEGE, SCHOLARS ENGAGE IN MONTHLY COACHING CALLS TO DEVELOP PRACTICAL SKILLS AND CREATE STRATEGIES TAILORED TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
