Residents interested in careers in information technology, health care and other in-demand fields are invited to a free workshop at Brookdale Community College’s Freehold campus on Aug. 16.
The college’s first “Career Saturday” will offer a wide range of information on growing industries and the best, most affordable ways of breaking into them.
Attendees can also complete a digital career assessment that evaluates their personality and recommends a number of potential career paths, along with corresponding college majors and certificate programs.
“This is a one-stop shop for anyone considering a new career,” said Dominic Latorraca, director of Brookdale’s Center for Career Development [BCCD]. “You can assess your skills and interests, learn about job market demand and find the right education or training program for you.”
Latorraca will co-host the workshop with Sarah McElroy, director of career services at Brookdale. Financial aid and admissions staff will also be on hand to discuss grant opportunities and offer one-on-one assistance to anyone in attendance.
The workshop will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in the Community Room at Brookdale’s Freehold campus, 3680 US Highway 9 South. Coffee and tea will be served.
Attendance is limited, so an RSVP is required. To register call 732-625-7025 or visit http://formsmarts.com/form/1gkq.
