Wise Webinar Series:
Person, Place, Thing: The Skills that Pay the Bills
with Emily Harris
In this session Emily Harris, will highlight Person-Centered Job Development Tools to support people to get connected to jobs based on their skills and abilities. Emily will support webinar attendees to look at who a person is, what is around them in their community, and how both People and Community make a Venn Diagram with a “Job Match” in the middle. Are you working with job candidates? Are you looking for work yourself? This webinar will highlight old and new tools to support the employment process and provide skills that pay the bills!
This webinar is “virtually hands on,” please be prepared to participate via chat networking activities and personal practice.
Learning Objectives (Info, tools, and skills attendees will receive):
- Opportunity to practice synthesizing and looking at how to determine a person’s skills.
- Ideas about how to access and connect with your community, using skills and interests as a guide.
- Putting it all together- how to take information you know about a person, and their community, to connect with an Employment Lens.
