MORE INFO
In response to the pandemic caused by COVID-19, we have launched our traditional New Choices class using a new, safe-from-your-home, virtual model. During the class, participants will gain access to current lists of job opportunities, practice interviewing and applying for jobs online, revise their resumes, and learn how to manage stress through this uncertain time. Being that this class will be completely conducted online, there are a few prerequisites for participants:
