The Covid-19 pandemic and the continuously evolving world-of-work have revealed that students need to develop psycho-social skills to enable them to transition into the unpredictable contemporary workplace. Tuned In Labs seeks to broaden the discussion of career readiness to include psycho-social skill development by training students in career development, entering and navigating the world of work, and engaging in wellness management. Our team of students and faculty co-designed a career wellness program for college students grounded in the Radical Healing framework and career development theories.
The Tune in to Strive Out Program is a 5-module Program that guides students through practices to preserve a stronger sense of wellness and self-determination while learning skills to navigate their career and school lives. Each module is delivered in 60 minutes, with one module per week over a five-week period. Topics are based on the five anchors of radical healing:
- Module 1: Cultural Authenticity and Self-Knowledge: Knowing Our Values & That We Belong
- Module 2: Cultural Authenticity & Self-Knowledge: Self-Construction & Life Design
- Module 3: Developing Critical Consciousness
- Module 4: Cultivating Radical Hope
- Module 5: Building Social Support via Collectivism
We have spent two years facilitating and refining the program and are thrilled to train collaborators to offer the program to your students. In this introductory workshop, we will introduce the radical healing framework, overview our program, and provide insights and strategies for program implementation.
