January 16, 2017CERIC launches new Career Management for Small Business Playbook
January 23, 2017CERIC is partnering with BC Career Development Association to present a special 3-part webinar series – Career Launch Reboot: New Approaches & Tech-Savvy Tools to Help Millennials Avoid the Underemployment Trap starting April 11, 2017.
While career practitioners are accustomed to coping with and adapting to a “rapidly evolving workplace,” they may be less used to working with the Millennial Generation who is now entering the workforce in droves. Career practitioners must now grapple with a workforce being rapidly changed by technology, at the same time as advise a new kind of demographic, one that has been raised in a world of technology unknown to previous generations. The more aware career practitioners are about Millennial mindsets, technological hindrance and enhancement, and the ways in which to guide and harness this new generation’s unique offerings, the better for our newest employees and for those who hire them. This series will provide strategies, techniques and tools to work with Millennials as they transition from school, at all different levels, into the workforce.
The webinar series includes:
- Webinar #1: Tackling the Under-Employment Syndrome Affecting 40% of Grads in Canada Tuesday, April 11, 2017, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET
- Webinar #2: Adding to the Resume with Online Personal-Branding Tuesday, April 18, 2017, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET
- Webinar #3: Reverse-Mentoring as a Career Launch Strategy for Millennials and an Employee Retention Strategy for Employers Tuesday, April 25, 2017, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET
The cost to register for the series is $119 for BCCDA members and $159 for non-members.
