find your inner pioneer

“Find Your Inner Pioneer” is an interactive career program hosted by the director & producer of Pioneers in Skirts.

Designed for students aged 12 and up, students and educators first watch the film, then participate in this program about Ambition.

CAREER SYMPOSIUM – 
~ online training sessions
~ length can be 1 hour up – 2.5 hours w/breaks
~ age-specific presentations for young teen and young adult

Using colorful slides, open conversation, and a Pioneering Path worksheet, Ashley & Lea-Ann demonstrate how to counter unfair perceptions and nay-sayers and share the building blocks we all need to take charge of our own “Pioneering Path.”

In the end, participants see that the best goals are the ones that are important to us, and that when we personalize our goals, we are energized to keep going!
