Workforce Industry Training (WIT) and WIT Jr programs, has created a new outreach program.
The program is, "Tilly Loves Tiny Readers are Tomorrow's Leaders" (TRTLs), to reach Pre-K - 2nd grade students, Tilly Loves TRTLs is a series of stories, videos, and coloring stories focusing on early workforce development awareness while encouraging reading and curiosity. This series of seven stories and videos are intended to be encouraging, inspiring, and aspirational of the "What I can be when I grow up?" possibilities. We hope to incorporate Tilly into our WIT mentoring programs soon.
