Real World gets Innovative

Real World participants have been busy learning creative problem-solving skills! Recently, the group participated in "Bright Ideas," a game designed to boost creativity while discussing real-world problems. Each participant had time to think of a "One Million Dollar Idea" that would effectively solve an issue they identified. The ideas ranged from Water Supply Receptacles, Automated Grooming Machines for the Disabled, and Mobile Finance Apps. This sparked many conversations about personal finance and development, as well as how their generation viewed themselves in the global community!

Aside from solving the world's problems, Real World participants got a chance to practice their interviewing skills this week. Guest speakers from Abrigo spoke to the group about resume building techniques, interview etiquette, and how to handle certain questions while speaking with a potential employer. Participants then ran through a series of mock interviews and received feedback from their peers.
