Join PCIL Mercer Life Through Different Lenses Peer Group for Launch Your Future, a free, three-part Career Development Series designed to help participants build the skills and confidence needed to work toward their career goals.

Launch Your Future will take the place of PCIL’s regular Mercer Peer Group activities in November and part of December.

The series includes:

November 3 Part 1: Know Yourself! — Identify your strengths, skills, interests, and workplace preferences.

November 17 Part 2: Market Yourself! — Learn about resumes, job applications, and finding the right employment opportunities.

December 1 Part 3: Present Yourself! — Practice interview skills, create an elevator pitch, and learn how to make a strong first impression.

The first session, Know Yourself!, will take place on Monday, November 3. Dr. Susan Breton-Treanor from Raritan Valley Community College will guide participants through hands-on activities and real-life examples designed to help them recognize what they can bring to an employer.

During Session 1, participants will:

• Identify three to five personal strengths
• Recognize skills gained through work, school, volunteering, hobbies, and everyday life
• Explore how their strengths and interests connect with different jobs
• Practice explaining their skills to a potential employer
• Create a personal Strengths Profile to use throughout the series

Each session builds on the one before it. Participants are strongly encouraged to register for and attend all three sessions to receive the full benefit of the series.

This is a FREE event, but registration is required and space is limited to 15 participants.
