Change, especially an involuntary job loss, creates a difficult and challenging time for most people. To assist with career change, the Career Transition Resource group (CTR) provides services to help you build a foundation for executing a career search plan.

Overview of the CTR Program

Our five-week career planning program starts with helping you identify skills and interests so you can build a resume and profile that highlights your experiences and strengths. We follow that step with helping you prepare for a career change through ways to source opportunities and prepare for interviews. Last, we provide an overview of what to expect when reviewing job offers. 

Our next five-week career planning program will take place in the winter of 2023. We will meet Wednesdays from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. To register send an email to [email protected] with your full name, email address and phone number. Once we receive your registration email, CTR will reach out with meeting information for our first session. The CTR email can also be used for any questions.
