Student Success Stories

Project MPACT provides workshops around career readiness and life skills.

In collaboration with Project MPACT, the IAAAM Malcolm X College male mentor group offered a series of workshops titled, “Unleash the Vision Within You.” This collection of workshops provided the essential skills and tools for students to identify their personal brand and maximize personal power. Students fine-tuned their critical thinking, accountability, networking, communication and conflict resolution skills.
