April 15 & 16, Via Zoom, 1 pm – 4 pm
Is it time for a career change? Are you unsure what direction to take? Sign up for the Career Exploration workshop! On the first day of this workshop, we will participate in activities that will identify our values, our skills, our attributes, our past occupational experiences, and our personality types. On the second day, we will discover occupational research websites where we will evaluate occupations using our self-exploration inventory. The Career Exploration workshop is an excellent tool for defining career satisfaction. This workshop will provide you with the opportunity to take an inventory of your:
- Skills, attributes and values
- Past work/volunteer experience
- Occupational interests
- Work activities and environment
- Personality type
You will also get the tools to research, and assess occupations using the information gathered from your inventory to ensure that your next chapter will be positive and rewarding!
