Career Readiness

Preparing the Next Generation for Purpose & Professional Success

The Rhema Life Career Readiness Initiative, in partnership with FormerU, LLC., is designed to equip individuals with the essential skills, habits, and confidence needed to navigate their future careers. This initiative is open to all—students, mentees, and adults alike—creating opportunities for growth at every stage of personal and professional development.

This program introduces participants to career development through engaging sessions that help cultivate strong character, leadership qualities, and a clear sense of direction. Whether someone is just beginning to explore their future or seeking to refine their path, the initiative provides a space where individuals from all backgrounds can grow and develop the tools necessary for long-term success. Led by Jaiera Braswell—a corporate professional, entrepreneur, and certified Life & Leadership Coach—the Career Readiness Initiative provides participants with practical tools to prepare them for real-world opportunities. Participants learn how to communicate effectively, present themselves confidently, set meaningful goals, build healthy habits, and develop the professional mindset needed to excel in any career path they choose.

Our sessions are interactive, supportive, and intentionally structured to empower individuals to discover who they are and who they can become. Whether through mock interviews, vision-planning activities, leadership development, or digital professionalism, participants receive a strong foundation that helps them thrive academically, socially, and within the workforce. More than a skills program, Career Readiness is an investment in people—helping individuals grow in character, build resilience, and unlock the potential placed within them. Through this partnership, Rhema Life is preparing future leaders who are equipped, confident, and ready to impact their communities and the world.
