Workforce Readiness Workshop

In January 2020, Katie Thompson from Troy Continuing Education gave a presentation to tutors on the topic of preparing adult students for a job search. She shared a Sample Resume, Sample Cover Letter for Employment, Sample Request for Letter of Recommendation, and Sample Letter of Recommendation. She pointed out that employers want to find a person with the skills needed for their team and a personality that they can work with. Toward that end, she provided tips to help job-seekers generate vocabulary to describe themselves and a writing activity to turn that vocabulary into content for a resume and an interview. A representative from MichWorks! shared a brochure about the job-training and job-search assistance offered by the agency throughout Oakland County to anyone who is eligible for work in the United States.
