Women’s Resource Center holding June career workshops

A free job readiness program is available for Manatee and Sarasota residents 21 and older.

Employment CPR, also known as “Career Pathway Resources,” is a program developed by the Women’s Resource Center of Sarasota County and sponsored by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.

Participants seeking a job or a better one can jump-start the process with a half-day workshop held in Bradenton, Sarasota, Venice and North Port. Each workshop will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The schedule for June is:

Sarasota: June 22 at the WRC Sarasota Office, 340 Tuttle Ave.

North Port: June 23 at the North Port Family Service Center, 6919 Outreach Way

Bradenton: June 30 at WRC Manatee, 1926 Manatee Ave. W.

Venice: June 30 at Seaboard Office Park, 312 E. Venice Ave., Suite 110

The workshops focus on using job search websites, writing skills for resume, cover letter and thank-you notes and all aspects of preparing for the interview such as appropriate dress and answering tough questions about behavior and resume gaps.
