Get a head start on landing you next job with the ECS Professional Development Workshops! As a new or mid-career professional, the job search process requires effective networking, developing and submitting specifically targeted résumés and cover letters, locating relevant job opportunities and preparing for and participating in the job interview.

ECS also offers one-on-one sessions with an industry leader and expert on résumé development once you’ve participated in our initial workshop. You will walk away with a résumé that is sure to land you your next interview!

Professional development workshops are offered to provide attendees with an opportunity to enhance networking and career search skills. Individuals are required to attend the Essential Elements for Employment Success workshop in order to schedule a one-on-one résumé review.
