Welcome to Indi-ED's Leadership & Social Skills Challenge
What Is It?
The Leadership and Social Skills Challenge (LSC) provides students with opportunities to practice skills like how to answer interview questions, how to conduct a meeting, or even deal with unruly customers in a fun environment. Students will get to apply positive communication skills while learning to problem solve in the moment. It is a series of challenges to help kids learn the importance of real world skills early and in a supportive environment.
Why Is It Important?
Our kids are the future of our community. For it to be the best it can be, these future leaders need opportunities to experience and learn real-world skills now. LSC not only provides opportunities for students to practice valuable professional skills, it also gives local businesses a chance to cultivate the skills they want to see in their future employees.
