The event will begin at 8 a.m. and include three hours of training, as well as a Q&A session and one-on-one guidance.
The second session will take place on Saturday, Nov. 9, and will focus on professional development skills such as building a resume, writing a cover letter, and creating a professional email address. This session will also begin at 8 a.m. and feature a time of Q&A and one-on-one assistance. Both workshops will be taught by Chris Isaacs of Ivy Tech and will include a light breakfast.
The training seminars are part of the Digital Literacy portion of the Public Access WiFi Grant received from Regional Opportunity Initiatives.
“These seminars are a continuation of our efforts to increase digital literacy and economic opportunity in our county,” said Executive Director Jesse Belcher. “We are excited to bring in educational resources that benefit our community members directly, allowing Crawford County residents to increase their marketability in the workplace and express confidence in their skills.” Attendees are asked to pre-register by emailing [email protected] or calling (812) 739-4479, though pre-registration is not required to attend.
