At Job Corps,a big emphasis is on preparation for the workforce. In the workforce, and the world, appearance can say a lot before you even open your mouth. We encourage all our volunteers to reinforce this when they are on center with the students.
If you want a good example to share with the students just read up about a young person who did not make an appropriate wardrobe choice, and got in trouble for it, here. Not to say that the student was the only one at fault, but there was enough lack of wisdom to go around.
Interesting article! Our students do need to understand the importance of appearance in society. While I do agree that this went to the extreme, there were wrong choices on all parts.
