The S.T.E.P.U.P. Program and the Marketing Your Success Program, two high school workshops focused on teaching students marketing and entrepreneurship skills in a professional setting, are both wrapping up in the beginning of July.

The Marketing Your Success workshop was a two week, intensive workshop that taught a selected group of high school students marketing skills in order to put together a collaborative project that helped market Richmond in a positive light. Students learned that Richmond has a lot of positive things to offer to its community and learned ways to help promote those positive qualities to others.

The S.T.E.P.U.P. program was a 4-week program that taught a selected group of high school students entrepreneurial skills. This workshop also gave students a chance to work in professional settings, to earn a paycheck, and to help out local businesses.
