Career Webinar – Workforce Wednesday Workshop on Transferrable Skills
August 16, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Are you unhappy with your current job or working for an industry that is shrinking? Would you like to move to a new career or industry? By showcasing how your accomplishments align perfectly with their requirements, you open opportunities for roles that may not have been initially considered a good match for you.
Join the Middlesex County Office of Workforce & Career Development and Tony Calabrese, on Wednesday, August 16, at 11 am via Zoom for a free Workforce Wednesdays Workshop, “Identifying Your Transferable Skills.”
Calabrese is the founder of Absolute Transitions, LLC, and a Certified Get Five Career Coach. He enjoys working with clients who are searching for a job or looking to change careers. He received his coaching certification from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (IPEC), and as such, can offer clients the combination of working with them through their career search and life coaching issues as part of his practice. In 2021, he became a strategic partner with Kawa Community Partners and is a trained vendor in administering their assessment tool to help learn the values that drive who you are in the work that you do. Most recently, Tony became an outplacement coach/consultant for Careerminds.
