So Cal Edison Hosts Young Black Scholars Day of Professional Development
From
staff reports
The
Networkers, an African-American employee group at Southern California
Edison (SCE), coordinated a professional development seminar in earlier
this month for the Young Black Scholars (YBS) to teach useful techniques
and effective presentation skills to students so students can use in
college and in their future careers.
SCE’s Networkers promotes diversity within SCE and coordinates
events and enhancement projects throughout the community. SCE volunteers
worked with more than 40 high school students, organizing them into
teams where they learned useful tips such as organizing a presentation,
utilizing effective visuals and engaging an audience. Following the
training session, the students had the opportunity to present in front
of their peers and receive constructive feedback.
“Today we asked the students to think about all the things that
are essential in making their lives special and encouraged them to
pay
attention and learn a skill that can be utilized in college and in
their careers,” said Frank Quevedo, SCE Vice President of Equal
Opportunity. “Today is an investment in their future to help
them embark on their college experience with confidence and preparedness.”
Young Black Scholars (YBS) offers a variety of programs and services,
including leadership development, community responsibility, and successful
life planning. For more information on Young Black Scholars, go to
