Work Search

This 1-hour workshop is targeted at co-op students navigating the job search in a challenging economy. We'll begin by "taking the pulse" of how learners are feeling and acknowledging the broader economic factors that may be impacting their search. From there, we'll focus on what learners can control-exploring practical, proven job search strategies to expand networking efforts, target their job search, and make meaningful connections. Through guided reflection and actionable tips, learners will leave feeling more empowered, confident, and prepared to take the next steps in their job search with clarity and purpose
