Networking Groups - PPWFC

Job Seekers Learn Tips for Job Search, Get Support and Encouragement,

Share Job Leads

December 14, 2007, Colorado Springs, CO – According to Quintessential Careers.com, “Networking is one of the most important -- if not the most important -- activities that job-seekers need to master to be truly successful in your job-search. Because the vast majority of job openings are never advertised, job-seekers need to have a network of contacts -- a career network -- that can provide support, information, and job leads.”

In January, the Pikes Peak Workforce Center (PPWFC) will offer the following networking groups, which are led by facilitators Steve Fehl, Monica Bryce, and Fred Gauna:
