Career Stimulus Program

A monthly support group for those who have been laid off or are in career transition.

Career Stimulus is a monthly support group designed for those who have been laid off or are in the midst of a career transition amid the ongoing economic recession.

This unique program combines expert speakers with networking round tables and breakout sessions on job-hunting help and interview tips.

“This is the perfect outlet for those who feel like they’re at the end of their rope,” Adult Learning Special Assistant Nancy Wajler says. “We’re hitting the career transition from every angle and empowering people to successfully take the next step.”

Cost

The majority of the program is grant-funded, however, a small fee is charged to participants to help cover costs.

The first session you attend is free. To attend additional sessions, choose from two options:
