AltaLink and Alberta 4-H have come together to create a program to develop public speaking and presentation skills of up and coming professionals.
Pauline Copithorne with 4-H tells 660News, it will teach young people the valuable skills they’ll need as they begin their careers.
“Some of that is a prepared speech component,” she says.
“They also do impromptu speeches where they are given a topic and they have minute to come up with a speech. They learn to think on their feet and present under pressure.”
They expect about 6,500 young leaders to take part in the program.
