Love to Share Foundation America (LTSFA) – Raleigh on Nov 2 2025 had the privilege of presenting essential workforce-readiness skills to pre-college students through the NC State University Catalyst Program—an award-winning initiative that supports high school students with disabilities who aspire to pursue STEM careers.

Volunteers Lavanya Mahesh and Akila Mahadevan led an engaging and interactive session designed to help students build confidence and develop practical skills for future career success. The workshop covered core topics including responsibility and accountability in the workplace, empathetic customer communication, how to receive and respond to constructive feedback, and responsible use of social media.
