S.T.E.P.U.P. Program
The Student Training Entrepreneur Program with Unlimited Potential (S.T.E.P.U.P.) Program is a 4-week summer program that introduce students to entrepreneurial and job-ready skills through project-based learning. Each student is taken through a series of workshops, called modules, that teach them essential skills.
The first module teaches them soft skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, time management, and budgeting as well as practical skills to support their career growth.
The second module provides students the opportunity to apply their skills in real world scenarios. Crystal Dreams partner with local community-based businesses and organizations to give students a chance work and learn from successful business owners, and community leaders.
