Winter Employment & Career Services (ECS) Build Your Skills Workshops
Vermont Works for Women (VWW) is excited to host a winter series of our interactive, virtual Build Your Skills Workshops.
Each workshop focuses on a different stage of the employment journey: career exploration and finding a job, identifying and developing job skills, self-advocacy, and setting goals for career advancement.
