Career Transition Workshop for Displaced Educators scheduled

Friday, October 14, 2011, By Eileen Jevis

University College of Syracuse University is hosting a Career Transition Workshop for Displaced Educators on Thursday, Nov. 17, from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Genesee Grande Hotel, 1600 E. Genesee St. The cost is $125.

Over a dozen different workshops led by workforce development experts will focus on developing your career path, building your personal brand and knowing the job market. Facilitators will discuss current opportunities available in fields such as health care, human services and literacy, and the credentials that are required to fill these positions. A panel discussion comprised of teachers who have transitioned to other careers is also scheduled.

This event is not a job fair. This one-day workshop can help displaced teachers, administrators and education majors develop the skills needed to recover and flourish in a changing professional world.
