DCCC offers career development

Posted by Press Release on December 21, 2020

Returning to work or upgrading a career involves careful planning, especially during a pandemic. If you are looking for assistance, New Choices, a free career development program now offered online through Delaware County Community College, can help.

Jackline Elondo, a 2020 New Choices Career Development Program graduate, with New Choices Program Director Rebecca Reeves in February 2020.

The College is offering a free, one-week, virtual synchronous program, in which an instructor will guide participants through topics including resume writing, interview communication, using LinkedIn, and determining your career goals—all in a supportive environment. In addition, a grant, awarded by the local philanthropic group Project W, will provide participants the opportunity to receive additional free training to upgrade competitive employment skills with training options including Microsoft Office, Pharmacy Technician, Administrative Professional, and more. A new laptop loan program will allow some participants to borrow laptops for their training and/or job search needs.

Classes are supplemented with one-on-one Zoom sessions with an instructor to help participants create an effective training plan or job search strategy. The following are upcoming sessions:

January 11-15, Monday – Friday
February 8-12, Monday – Friday
March 8-12, Monday – Friday

Morning and evening sessions available, based on demand.
