Career Refocus Post Pandemic

A McKinsey report stated that “The pandemic accelerated existing trends in remote work, -commerce, and automation, with up to 25 percent more workers than previously estimated potentially needing to switch occupations.” Other research suggests that another impact of the pandemic was that many workers seriously began to question whether they were in the career of their choice and/or if it was time for a change.  This class will focus on the essentials of making a career change, the challenges of change, and the benefits of change for individual workers.  Participants will leave with a better sense of how to analyze those important decisions and learn practical and effective steps and tips on how to follow-through on their analysis- whether you decide to stay with your current employer or move on to something different. Participants will have time to ask questions, share stories, and identify best practices.
