Situation:

We are living in a fast paced society that is always changing.   Education in different subjects prepare our youth for the future.  Essential life skills such as financial management, public speaking, decision making skills, preparing for the workforce and skills to manage a household are necessary to develop competent and caring youth and adults.

The dramatic changes in the economy over the past few years have been matched with the transformation in technology and these are all impacting on education, the workplace and home life.  The Kentucky Extension Community Assessment Statewide Report in 2019 indicates that money management for families and youth and employee “soft skills” training continue to be important issue statewide.   Research conducted by Harvard University, the Carnegie Foundation, and Stanford Research Center indicates 85% of job success comes from having well developed soft and people skills.

To cope with the increasing pace and change of modern life, students and families need to develop basic life skills such as dealing with finances, being able to communicate affectively, up to date on science, engineer and technology and improving soft skills.
