While looking for work can be an exciting time, it can also involve fear and discomfort about change and the unknown. This workshop will help you teach participants how to determine what their skill set is made up of, the kind of work that is important and realistic to include in their search, and how to get started.
Participants will:
- Assess their skills, values, and beliefs about work and looking for opportunities.
- Develop an understanding for the types of work available to them and where to find more information.
- Recognize the differences and benefits available through career coaches, counselors, and mentors.
- Learn different approaches to job searching, such as networking and tapping into the job market.
