The students completed resumé writing workshops and received a completed electronic and hard copy of their resumé. The students also toured the Dublin campus of Oconee Fall Line Technical College and received information on admissions, financial aid and disability services at this campus. Gift cards incentives were awarded daily for attendance and a chrome book was awarded the last day.
