Philly Career Launch sessions will take place in April and May at various library and community locations throughout Philadelphia.
Have you experienced job disruption over the past few years? Are you stuck in a low-paying job or want a better employment situation? Here’s your chance to take hold of your future. Join us for a Philly Career Launch Career Exploration Workshop. Explore careers that build on your strengths and interests and get hands-on experience with online resources.
Do you like working with your hands and are a visual thinker? Then a career in construction, skilled trades, or manufacturing might be for you. Or maybe you describe yourself as a compassionate and caring person who is detail-oriented, in which case you could consider a healthcare career. Like to play video games? You wouldn’t be the first gamer to go into coding! There are thousands of careers out there and the Career Exploration Workshop will help you get your new career off the ground. This unique session combines self-reflection, small group discussion, and information sharing.
The Philly Career Launch Career Exploration Workshop is FREE! Sessions will take place in April and May at various library and community-based locations throughout Philadelphia. A boxed lunch will be provided.
