Can you explain the level of structure and support offered by Life Choices?

Life Choices provides more than just web development courses. It offers personal development sessions to enhance individuals’ skills in various areas, including public speaking, design thinking, financial literacy, and professional conduct in the workplace. Moreover, therapy sessions are available to help improve coping skills. Life Choices offers access to a life coach who provides guidance and support for those preparing for job interviews or seeking to enhance their work behaviour. Overall, Life Choices is dedicated to ensuring its students are well-equipped for the working environment and have access to the necessary resources to succeed.

What advice do you have for students looking for internships?

When faced with work tasks, it’s recommended to try and solve them independently before seeking assistance. This practice helps to develop a mindset of constantly seeking solutions. It’s important to remember that mistakes are part of the learning process, so don’t be afraid to make them.

Partnering with Life Choices Academy is excellent for students seeking a personalized, supportive, and engaging educational experience. Whether students seek to improve their academic skills, explore their passions, or develop their personal and social skills, Life Choices Academy can provide the tools and support they need to achieve their goals.

Collaborating with Life Choices has brought great opportunities for our company and the learners.

Additionally, the unique support system at Life Choices has been instrumental in alleviating our human resource needs for the interns.
