3 different Groups are offered for:

- Stay-at-home parents interested in returning to the workforce

- Professionals in career transition                                                                                                                  (one for those who know what they want to do but need help getting there; the other is for those who aren't sure what they want to do or how to get there).

Groups meet at local destinations for five (5) consecutive weekly sessions. Registration taking place NOW for 2011 Circles. Group location, times and dates will be given once you are registered. The rate is $30/session. We strongly encourage you to attend all (5) sessions to maintain group cohesion and to get the most out of it.
