Several career workshops run throughout the year at Celebration Community Life Center.  These workshops are designed for those who may be struggling to find more meaning in their work, individuals who are trying to make an important career decision such as retirement or moving to a new assignment or industry, or simply for those who would like to find ways to improve their performance in their current jobs.
 
Career Management Course
Workshop for Job Seekers and Career Decision Makers 
 
The Career Management Course will give you practical, down-to-earth information integrated with Scriptural insight to help you in your job search, career decision, or in career planning activity.
 
Over the eight week series, you will sharpen your understanding of the talents, skills and abilities God has given you, assess the strengths of your educational and work experience, and learn to target the career that is right for you.
