As we learned during a visit to Canyon Springs High School, that's not all they did to prepare.

(Gregory Ross) Good morning, class.

Thank you guys all for being here today.

We are going to do something exciting.

We're going to be talking about interviewing skills today.

Are you guys ready to learn how to answer those questions right so you can get the job of your dreams?

-Yes!

(Jayda Macon) So that workshop, it was actually a lot that I didn't know that I thought I did know.

My first part that I went to was the interviewing skills.

At first it was difficult for me, because keeping eye contact and just, you know, talking professionally, sometimes it doesn't come natural until, like, you're told to actually do it.

(Junior Monroy Cisneros) The first part of the event was the networking event, and it was pretty cool.

We got up, we were talking to people.

Even if you were shy, it was a lot of, a lot of people to, what's it called, break the ice between you and your shyness so you can get more talkative.

And after a while of us doing that, talking to people, meeting people-- -Welcome to Dream Con.

My name is Mike.

What's your name?

-Justice Brown.

-Justice, nice to meet you.

-It's nice to meet you too.

-So JAG stands for Jobs for America's Graduates, and our goal is to help students with workforce readiness.

We find out from our employers that our students come in with an advantage.

That competitive advantage is necessary when you're working with students and trying to help them get jobs.

-When I first came in here, I was, I was not like this at all.

I was different.

I would act different.

Mr. Ross, him personally, he helped me out with my anger issues.

When I came in here, I was-- I'll get angry a lot, or not in here, personally, but I'll be angry a lot, and he'll help me calm it down.

-It's not just about building yourself as a person and building skills as a person, but as a group, learning how to work in a team.

-I'm more excited and proud because, through all the years I've been working, I'm finally going to get something to show it off with my diploma.

-The sky's the limit.

-What great life skills to learn.

Any employer will be lucky to have you.
