Paperback. Condition: Good. In MAKiN' iT: The Six Universal Habits for True Survival and Success, author and national youth workforce development expert, Edward DeJesus reveals the habits used by thousands of former at-risk youth to succeed in jobs, education and beyond. DeJesus gives us a trailblazing book that promises to transform the way youth look at the importance of education, work, and positive lifestyles. Too often, youth are often misdirected from making the necessary investments in the development of proper attitudes, tools beliefs, and behaviors that lead to long-term economic success. In MAKiN' iT, DeJesus reveals the source of this misdirection and helps youth lay out a plan for a healthy and prosperous future. Armed with hard facts from some of the world's prominent researchers, DeJesus uncovers that ever-elusive link between program participation and long-term success. In this step-by-step guide, young adults ages (14-26) will be better able to cope with negative influences, build economic opportunity, develop goals, and much more. MAKiN' iT: The Six Universal Habits for True Survival and Success is destined to become the ultimate success manual for young people seeking options beyond the streets. It has already secured stellar reviews from the top leaders in the youth workforce development, juvenile justice, and child welfare fields. A must read for any young person interested in success and those who are committed to helping them achieve it.
