Center instructors encourage a self-directed approach to skill building and create an atmosphere of empowerment to overcome the discouragement that accompanies extended but unsuccessful efforts to find work. During the class, students create their own resumes, analyze their skills from previous work experiences, develop Career Action Plans, and have an opportunity to talk with COCC advisors about educational opportunities and financial aid. Students have an opportunity to learn computer basics including word processing, internet and intranet. The class also provides students an opportunity to measure their basic skills in reading, writing and math and to brush-up on any that are rusty.
Classes meet for five weeks, four days a week.
The class is free.
