"Branding YOU" free career workshop

Dominican University’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies (SPCS) will host “Branding YOU,” a free workshop to help job seekers and working professionals create and communicate a unique value proposition about themselves. The workshop will be held on Thursday, January 19, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Dominican’s Priory Campus, 7200 Division Street, River Forest.

The workshop will be led by Molly Rudberg-Leshnock, owner/managing director of MRL Productions and an adjunct professor at Dominican, who has more than 14 years of experience leading marketing, branding and communication initiatives in corporate and higher education organizations.

“Taking the time to develop a personal brand in a disruptive, quick decision making world will make or break a career,” Rudberg-Leshnock said. “Whether you’re currently searching for a job, challenged to build sales in your business, an entrepreneur or a mother considering going back to work, understanding and communicating your unique value proposition and brand is critical to growth and opportunity.”

The event is part of a series of career workshops held by the SPCS to help individuals enter the workforce and build career-enhancing skills. The next workshop, “Networking in the New Normal,” is scheduled for March 22.

The SPCS is also accepting applications for its degree programs. The school offers a master’s degree in Conflict Resolution, a master’s in Family Ministry, an online bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies and an IHSA-approved Excellence in Coaching certificate.

Registration for the workshop is free. To register or for more information about any SPCS offerings, visit dom.edu/spcs or contact Matt Hlinak at mhlinak@dom.edu or (708) 714-9056.
