Knowledge as a Tool
Today’s job market is extremely competitive. “What have you been doing while you were out of work?” can be a “make or break” question. For some, volunteering is helpful. For others, especially for those wanting to break into a new industry, education can provide you the edge needed to compete effectively. As some of us know, education can be free and not take a long time.
Join us on Feb 16th from 7-9 PM and hear Lori Crose, MPA, explain the “ins & outs” of updating your skills and/or knowledge. Lori will speak on job trends, preparing for the future with certifications and understand the different funding options available. Reserve your seat now at http://conedstirenaeus.eventbrite.com/
