According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average person will change careers 5-7 times during their lifetime. Join this hour-long workshop, specifically designed for “midlifers,” to overcome any self-doubt and recognize that midlife is the perfect time to begin a new journey with wisdom and experience on our side! We will…

· Take quick assessments and/or personal inventory to review our career interests, values, and skills;

· Apply skills and transferable skills to various jobs or job families;

· Research careers (income, work environment, needed education/training);

· Learn about today’s fastest growing occupations (Bright Outlook);

· Compare company profiles and work conditions;

· Discuss next steps!

Please bring your smart phone if you would like to take some of the assessments mentioned in this program.
