Career Development Initiative
The IMAN Career Development Initiative (ICDI) has provided GED and basic computer literacy training to a diverse population in the Chicago Lawn community since its inception in 2001. ICDI offers individual attention and support, helping participants gain not only skills but also the self-esteem to go out in the business world and gain successful employment. The five-week curriculum teaches resume and application writing, interviewing skills, Internet job search, and access to job bank – all within the context of computer literacy.
With a modern and technologically advanced resource room in IMAN's new Administration Center, the ICDI has 12 thin client workstations equipped with comprehensive software packages. The first of its kind in the community, the ICDI attracted dozens of residents for the orientation session in the Fall 2007 and 33 students to the first class series, a more than two-fold increase over the preceding year's enrollment. We offer weekend, evening and day classes in both Spanish and English. |
