For DYCD Providers: Searching for Success: Dynamic Coaching Strategies that Get Job Seekers Hired

This training takes place across two half-day sessions on April 10 and April 17, and each session will be from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Registrants must participate in both sessions.

This training will introduce participants to the core elements of career coaching.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Use skills assessments, goal setting, and positive thinking techniques with job seekers;
• Hone an effective 60 second self-marketing pitch; and
• Develop résumés that impress employers.
