A career change is easier when you begin with a well thought out plan.  This interactive workshop will provide an overview of the steps needed for a change:
Self-discovery – what do you want to do?
Where are the opportunities – how do you identify and research opportunities that match your interests?
Developing a strategy – how do you bridge the gap between your prior experience and your new career direction?
Executing an efficient search.

If you are between jobs, this is your greatest opportunity to design the next phase of your work life - and make it fulfilling. If you are working and not completely satisfied, this is your opportunity to take the first step towards making a change.
