Career & Employment Workshop

On  December 9th & 10th we will be holding a Career & Employment Workshop for Professionals at the Richmond Stake Center, taught by the full-time staff from our Employment Services office in DC. This is a workshop generally offered to us only once a year.

The workshop will begin Friday Dec 9th at 7PM and run until 10:00 PM. It will continue Saturday Dec 10th at 9 AM and run through 4PM. Participants will need to bring a bag lunch on Saturday.

Here are some additional details about the workshop from our Stake Employment Specialist, Tish Heflebower: "This workshop is geared toward individuals seeking employment with a salary target of $75,000 or higher.  In addition it is open for those professionals looking to change careers or who desire to take their current careers to the next level.  Students who will be graduating from college, grad school, medical, dental or law school.  Others that are small business owners have found the skills learned in this workshop to be useful in helping to build their business."

Though the workshop will be held at the stake center it will be open to at least 3 stakes and seating is limited. So early registration is very important.

I can tell you personally that this workshop was more helpful for me than an outplacement service costing in excess of $10,000 provided by my company when I lost my job.

We'd appreciate it if you would (in consultation with other ward Priesthood and Auxiliary leaders) consider individuals in your ward who may benefit from this workshop and invite them to participate.

I am the point of contact for registration at Tish.heflebower@gmail.com  I can be reached by phone at 804-928-3868. Please feel free to contact me with questions as well."

We hope that members of our stake and surrounding areas will be able to take advantage of this special opportunity. We're also encouraging any Ward Employment Specialists who have not been to this workshop to attend as observers.
