Career Ministry Provides Networking and Programs

Sundays 4-5:30 p.m.
July 12, July 26, August 9, August 23, Sept 13, Sept 27

The Career Ministry of Royal Oak First United Methodist Church is designed to assist job seekers and others in career transition.  The free-of-charge program is focused on providing career development resources, programs and networking opportunities to anyone in Royal Oak and the surrounding communities.  People who are unemployed, under-employed (currently employed but looking for a new opportunity), potentially facing a forced transition and currently/happily employed will meet on Sunday afternoons at the church from 4-5:30 p.m.

The ongoing program includes small group discussions and networking, as well as skill-building mini-presentations on topics such as resume writing.  The meetings are an open forum for participants to come on an "as needed" basis to share ideas, questions, and updates on their situation and progress if they so desire.  The volunteer group includes several Human Resources professionals and participants from many industries who are willing to help job seekers learn about new possibilities for their career.
