Confused about how to move forward with your community development career?
In this workshop for entry-level community development professionals, volunteers and students, we will help participants reflect on:
What they have learned in their current or recent job, internship or volunteer experience
Their short- and longer-term career goals, and
How they can move towards achieving their goals.
We will identify the kinds of jobs available, and what skills people might need to build to meet their career goals. A panel of community development practitioners will share stories of their career paths. Participants will receive tips on how to present their skills as well as ideas for further networking and search.
Note: Participants will be asked to answer some pre-meeting questions to focus our conversation.?
