Ten students from Unicorn Village Academy's Pre-Employment Training Summer Program visited Deluxe Corporation. Deluxe is a business management consultation company in Boca Raton. The students had a tour of the building and met many employees. There was a presentation on resume writing, after which, Deluxe staff reviewed each student's resume with them. The students then participated in mock interviews with Deluxe staff and had professional head shots taken. It was an ideal way to continue our journey into career exploration. We thank everyone at Deluxe for sharing their time and knowledge with us. View Photos here
