Why attend a Career Workshop?

Whether you are currently employed, at school or looking for work, a Career Workshop has something for everyone. Young or old!

The goal of the Career Workshop is to help you develop the skills you need to achieve your career objectives. It takes six hours in total (which we break up into two sessions, one on a Friday night and the next the following Saturday morning) and is taught in four units:

1. My Goals helps you evaluate your talents, interests and values; set goals; and develop a plan to achieve those goals. Your individual plan can include goals for employment, education or self-employment.


2. My Resources helps you learn how to identify and develop the resources you need to reach your goals. It teaches you how to find employment leads, educational and self-employment funding and other community services.


3. My Interaction with Resources helps you learn how to communicate with the resources you identified. It teaches you how to make powerful impressions in interviews and present yourself well in writing.


4. My Continued Success teaches you how to negotiate, grow in your new position and advance in your career.

Each participant is given their own Career Workshop workbook to document their goals and ideas.

You will enjoy the opportunity to participate in this forum rich with ideas which you can use straight away to make your life better.

The schedule of Stake run Career Workshops is shown in the column to the left, but if your Ward would like their own Career Workshop before then, just talk to your Ward Employment Specialist or Bishop and it can be arranged.
