SCORE has completed another successful year of

workshops at Salter School!

SCORE counselors from Newburyport have been offering workshops to Salter School students in Tewksbury for the last couple of years.  The school offers a variety of vocational programs such as Health Claims, Medical Assisting, Massage Therapy, and Computer and Network Management.  The Salter School is a private school offering training through programs in preparation for professional careers in business, health care, and computers. Some of the graduates plan to start their own businesses upon graduation.

The workshops have been provided to both day and evening classes, and allow SCORE counselors to share their years of experience in business with the students and offer ongoing mentoring.

Workshops are appreciated by students and faculty.  Christina Brown, instructor in the Massage Therapy Division says:

“Bahar and the wonderful advisors at SCORE are highly knowledgeable, seasoned experts whose advice and opinions have helped our students see and shape their future success as business owners in massage therapy.  We appreciate their time and understanding when they help our students achieve confidence in themselves.  Additionally, we are grateful when SCORE provides our graduates with resources and guidance when they are ready to establish their own massage businesses.”

Bahar Thompson, who leads the project, hopes that SCORE will be able to offer similar workshops to Salter Schools in other locations.
