"The Skillify Conference was very beneficial as it not only presents what is necessary in a professional environment but it also allows students to develop the professional skills. It was a great learning experience and definitely boosted students' confidence levels. The students were very grateful for this experience!"

"Skillify was an incredibly valuable experience for all students who participated. These are real world skills which will pay dividends for years to come. Skillify exceeded my expectations, covered all topics well, and overall did an excellent job. I would recommend Skillify to any high school and organization. The experience was great. I think many students really got a lot out of it and were very excited."

Whittier High School

"Skillify met our objective of increasing the confidence level of each student and preparing them for their mentoring and interning programs. Students were actively engaged and practiced networking skills in a highly animated and beneficial professional setting. Shireen captivated our students with her personal examples from her life and with her enthusiasm. They received a great benefit from her workshop on networking. Our students thanked me on the way out for providing this workshop. Their comments were that they felt much more connected to each other as an academy and learned their own commonalities and they learned practical tips like remembering to check their emails daily! Thank you!! Skillify exceeded expectations and comes highly recommended."

"Skillify provided multiple conferences for my high school students and Shireen was our conference facilitator. As she is an accomplished professional herself, Shireen is able to deliver expert coaching for professional skills. Shireen is an extremely dynamic, vibrant, and engaging speaker. She was able to manage, engage, and gain the respect of large groups of 16-18 year-old students with ease. Students leave the conferences feeling more knowledgeable, self-assured, inspired, and prepared to face the professional world. Skillify has made a tremendous addition to our school’s career program and a joy with whom to collaborate."

"The skills that Skillify teaches are skills that are not only needed when searching for a job but skills that we all need in life! Skillify should be in every school! The workshop exceeded expectations and provided value for all of our students."

"Skillify offers a valuable and missing component which schools have typically omitted. These are real-world skills which students need and, unfortunately, are usually only developed through failure and experience in the school of hard knocks. The services offered by Skillify are current. Skillify's instructors are close to the age of the students which gives them a great connection and is one reason students are quite engaged. Having the skills taught by Skillify gives students legitimate confidence, exposes them to more opportunities, and shortens their learning curve. This results in quicker immersion into the careers chosen by students and positions them for success. It a program which I needed and would have used when I was in high school. Skillify's programs have been well-attended and students responded exceptionally well to the program."

"I have been to so many FBLA conferences and have never found a workshop as valuable as the one Skillify offered. Skillify engaged me instantly, taught me valuable skills in a short period of time, and left me with a transformed mindset. I went in not knowing what to expect and left wanting to recommend the Skillify workshops to all of my friends. I hope to see Skillify at future FBLA conferences as it is extremely fun and relevant!"
