We recently hosted an inspiring Get Ahead workshop all about unlocking transferable skills and finding a career path that truly fits YOU.
We were excited to welcome 45 job seekers—including 18 students from the Portland School District Transitions program—to this special session.
Our guest speaker, Anne Lapour, Executive Director of Career Initiatives at Willamette University, shared practical strategies for navigating the job search, wrapping the session up with a brief Q&A.
Key insights from her presentation included:
How self-awareness can guide you toward the right career fit.
Ways to identify and use the transferable skills you already have.
Tips for showcasing those skills in applications and networking.
And how setting small, realistic goals can keep you motivated.
