Career Planning Again? Self-Discovery in Midlife with Annette Bosley-Boyce

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average person will change careers 5-7 times during their lifetime.

No matter the reason, now is the time to focus on YOU! Join this free hour-long workshop, specifically designed for “midlifers,” to overcome any self-doubt and recognize that midlife is the perfect time to begin a new journey with wisdom and experience on our side! We will…
· Take quick assessments and/or personal inventory to review our career interests, values, and skills;
· Apply skills and transferable skills to various jobs or job families;
· Research careers (income, work environment, needed education/training);
· Learn about today’s fastest growing occupations (Bright Outlook);
