NEW!
Lansing Community College's Center for Workforce Transition is pleased to announce that it has expanded its programming to include workshops designed specifically for baby boomers looking to re-enter the job market. For more information on the Encore Plus 50 program attend an informational orientation meeting at Capital Area Michigan Works! Lansing Service Center on Tuesday, April 8th from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. If you have any questions, contact our staff at (517) 492-5580 or LCCAdvisor@camw.net.
Plus 50 Completion Initiative:
Lansing Community College has joined other community colleges in a national program designed to train 10,000 baby boomers for new jobs in healthcare, education, and social services. The program is sponsored by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). The college is part of the Plus 50 Encore Completion Program and seeks to assist adults age 50 and over in completing degrees or certificates within in-demand occupations that give back to the community. Please visit our website at lcc.edu/lifelong/encore for updated information on this program.
Skills, Knowledge, Abilities & Job Blasts!
Every week I offer to review resumes for some of the Lansing Community College students and Capital Area Michigan Works! clients that I meet. Almost, without fail, the resumes do not clearly articulate some key information to a prospective employer: skills, knowledge, and abilities. For assistance with identifying what skills, knowledge, and abilities are needed for an occupation, visit the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics' O*Net website for a listing (by occupation).
Further, nearly three out of four resumes have misspellings and noticeable grammar errors. While this may not seem to be such a "big deal" (as I've been told by job seekers who also mention to me that they are NOT receiving interviews), most employers will not follow up with a candidate whose resume exhibits errors. Take the time to review your resume as well as ask someone else to review it for errors and content. It only takes a few minutes...but, it could mean the difference between getting or not getting an interview!
JOBS CONNECTION UPDATE:
Two to three times each month, I present a "Jobs Connection" workshop at the Capital Area Michigan Works! Lansing Service Center. Starting now, each month one of the workshops will focus on the 50+ Job Seeker. Information specific to this market will be presented to assist the experience worker with some helpful job search information.
June workshops are scheduled for Tuesday, June 14th and Tuesday, June 21st (50+ Job Seeker workshop). The workshop runs from 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Pre-registration is not necessary. For more information, contact the LCC staff at (517) 492-5580.
