Join our online seminar to find out
how.
Civic Ventures has teamed up with the New
York Times Knowledge Network to offer people
interested in encore careers practical advice
about the job market.
The course will be offered online through
The New York Times Knowledge Network on Fridays,
October 22 and 29, from noon to 1:15 p.m. Eastern
time / 9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Pacific time. Cost:
$95.
Led by our in-house careers expert and former New
York Times columnist Marci Alboher,
the course will feature advice from experts
as well as people who have or are
on the path to meaningful encore careers.
This interactive course will focus on some
fundamental questions: Will there really be
enough jobs for the number of people who want
to do meaningful work in their encore years?
What kinds of job opportunities exist, and
how do you make the leap into a field where
you might not have any experience or contacts?
What roles do volunteering and bridge jobs
play in career shifts? What should you
do if you want to work but don’t have the interest
or ability to work full time? What steps should
you take if you want to create your own organization
rather than take a job? How can
you deal with age discrimination?
Participants will be able to submit questions
to the panelists in real time.
