GPN is an 8-week course that explores the journey of finding a job. It begins with investigating your interests, personal values, and occupational values. This leads to defining what jobs you would enjoy and what companies employ this job.
GPN starts by helping you discover “from the inside out” what career path is right for you. We spend time exploring what do you enjoy doing? What do you value? What brings meaning to your life? Then we find how we can transfer these priorities into a job, because we all deserve a job we LOVE.
Next, you create a custom resume which is critiqued by our supportive, professional, network of professional staff and volunteers. Interview preparation is followed by mock interviews, conducted in a safe, kind, and real-life manner.
