Online Career Workshops

Employee Career Services has developed a series of career workshops to guide you through key steps in the job search process.

Value and Skill Card Sorts

The College of Continuing Education Career and Lifework Planning Services has shared this online resource. The cards sorts provide a quick and easy way to clarify what you want in a career. Doing this activity is like playing solitaire. You have a deck of cards and will deal them out into several categories.

Value Card Sort - Reflect on what is most important to you in a lifework setting

Skill Card Sort - Use this tool to identify and prioritize your skills


Career Foundations

If you are ready to explore new dimensions for your career, Employee Career Services offers a course called Career Foundations. This course provides participants with a greater understanding of their skills, preferences, values, and interests, as well as a renewed sense of direction in their careers.
