GENERAL PROGRAMS:
Professional Networking Workshop
It’s not just what you know, it’s who you know. Learn the skills to build the right connections to people who will help you land the jobs that you are looking for. Get tips on what to say, how to ask for a business card and setting up an informational interview. People who have attended the workshop have said it is really helpful practice in a safe environment where they get practical feedback. |

As you may know, the ability to speak English is incredibly important no matter the job sector. So why not practice English skills over the phone. Participants will be provided with a patient listener. The program is conducted entirely by telephone so you are able to attend the program on your own time and in the comfort of your own home. |

"I am a divorced mother of two that found myself without a job and dealing with an eviction. At Met Council, I was given help through the Career Center. They helped me with computer skills and made 3 resumes from the original I had. I had been searching for 8 months for a job. Once I got my new resumes I found a job 2 weeks later as a Production Coordinator at Talbots. Met Council also helped me with clothes for my new job. It doesn't end there: Met Council also covered one month's rent for me. Met Council has helped me to start a new life."
