On October 15 career expert Kim Dority will share strategies for using existing skills and knowledge to change careers
Buffalo, NY, October 03, 2013 – Many studies show that the majority of Americans are unhappy with their current jobs. The U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 2 million Americans voluntarily leave their jobs each month. To help current and prospective students as well as other individuals unhappy with their current careers, Bryant & Stratton College Online announced a new session in its career information webinar series. The webinar, “Creating a Career Change Action Plan,” will be held on Tuesday, October 15 from noon to 1 p.m. EDT.
Acclaimed career coach Kim Dority will lead the webinar. Ms. Dority has been a presenter at many past career webinars for Bryant & Stratton College Online and has been writing about and teaching courses on career design for more than a decade.
“One of the best pieces of advice I can give to young – and seasoned – employees is always have an exit strategy. Transitioning from one career path to another can be done but it takes some finesse and a lot of planning. At this webinar I’ll share some ideas on how to take what you have already accomplished in your career and pivot it into a new path,” said Dority.
The “Creating a Career Change Action Plan,” webinar will provide practical tips and advice for anyone looking to alter their current career path. Key takeaways for webinar attendees will include:
How to create a "transition platform," building on existing skills and knowledge gained from a degree and previous work experience
How to expand an existing network to create opportunities among target employers in a new field
How to start building visibility in a new professional environment
How to use informational interviews to open doors and help create new opportunities
“Many students come to Bryant & Stratton College Online in search of a career change. Earning a degree is the first step in making that transition and developing critical employability skills for a new career. This webinar and the others in our career webinar series enhance the knowledge and skills students gain during their degree program in order to plan a better career path,” said Scott Traylor, Campus Director for Online Education at Bryant & Stratton College. “Ms. Dority is a tremendous resource for our students and we are happy she is willing to share her knowledge and expertise for free.”
The webinar is offered for free by Bryant & Stratton College Online and is open to current students, prospective students and others seeking information on career planning.
