The Career Kick-Starter Workshop is the second in a three-part career development series for job seekers who are re-entering the workforce or seeking a change in employment. Part two of this series is Identifying and Overcoming Barriers, facilitated by Tammie Stewart, ELOC Certified Coach, Northwestern University.
The goal of the workshop is to discuss and share workplace issues related to obtaining or keeping positions and also talk about ways to grow or advance.
We will discuss some of the skills employers are looking for in employees. We will also talk about roadblocks. Once you recognize roadblocks they may be easier to overcome.
Attendees should leave this session with the beginnings of a plan of action based on their individual starting point and career goal. In addition to this workshop, job seekers can attend Resume and Interview Tips for the Jobseeker for more tips on kick-starting their career.
This workshop is free, but you must register to participate.

It is often hard to talk about race because white culture values certain ways of knowing and not others, and assigns a higher value to some ways of behaving than others. Because these ideas have been maintained over a long period of time, it is sometimes hard for people to notice that this culture is based in whiteness. What are the characteristic of white supremacy culture – and what do we do once we’ve recognized this?
This workshop is part of our 201 Series, which is perfect for those who want to dive a little deeper.
