Join us to accelerate your job search! We’ll learn how to find your true calling in life – the career that rewards you with a paycheck and a purpose – and the practical job search steps to turn that vision into employment reality.
Led by Wayan Vota of the Career Pivot and Kyle Dietrich of Grounded Idealist, this in-person workshop is for displaced federal workers, contractors, implementers, and others navigating complex professional transitions. This workshop will consist of a morning and afternoon session (learn more below!) with a one-hour break in between. We’ll gather for a happy hour nearby following the afternoon session.
Free to attend, but advance registration is required so we know how many people to expect. If you have any questions, please reach out to Adam Cooper, Program Director of Capital J, at acooper@edcjcc.org.
