The series, known as The Avadon Group Career Latticing Series (CLS), is being offered from Sept. 6 to Nov. 22, 2008.
According to Avadon founder and CEO, Norma Owen, the courses will provide participants knowledge of the: top 10 skills employers view as critical for employees; essential job profiles that demonstrate a participant is the right person for a job; and key upcoming trends in the employment market of tomorrow.
Owen also notes the term Career Latticing refers to the agility and maneuverability job-seekers need in order to find meaningful and satisfying careers in today's ever-changing marketplace.
