Cuyahoga Community College And Lakewood Collaborative Offer Free Workshops To Job Seekers In September

With the national unemployment rate climbing over 10%, the new Career Development and Transition Services at Cuyahoga Community College are reaching out to area residents impacted by the economic recession. We provide enhanced support services to the unemployed in Northeast Ohio. These much-needed services assist unemployed individuals with career planning and job coaching; skills and interests assessments; education planning to support retraining; appropriate academic and technical training programs; job search preparation; and job placement assistance.

The Career Development and Transition Team is a group of seasoned professionals coaching job seekers to be successful in their job search. We offer extensive knowledge and work experience in diverse industries such as education, banking/financial services, manufacturing, social services, publishing, consumer products, and not for profit industries.  Our combined backgrounds in human resources (recruiting and employee development), business advisory, professional outplacement services, and career coaching, are an ideal combination to serve as Career Development and Transition Specialists.

Please join us in September when we team up with the Lakewood Family Collaborative to launch our September 2010 Workshop Series, Tuesday mornings from 9:30am-12:30pm at the Lakewood Public Library. Each workshop will focus on a different topic crucial to the job searching process.
