experiencing a career change to

be conducting a workshop called,
"Career Changers."
The workshop will be held on
Saturday, June 15, from 9 a.m. until
3:50 p.m., at the Radisson Plaza
Hotel in the Mint Room. The
registration fee of 135 covers the
workshop, lunch, breakfast and
break-time snacks.
Emphasis is on those moving from
education and helping professions to
business and industry because
reports show these are the areas
experiencing the most career
changing activity. According to
Carol Walker Jordan, director of the
Women’s Career Center, “In
education and helping fields the pay
is far too low and people are
struggling to survive, especially
single working mothers."
The planned workshop is designed
to illustrate exactly how transitions
are made from education and
helping careers to business and
industry: what skills carry over or
what additional qualifications are
necessary.
The workshop will be structured
as follows:
The morning session will present a
career changers panel: three
individuals who have successfully
moved from education and helping
professions into business. They will
offer advice and discuss transition
expectations.
At lunchtime, featured speaker
will be David Campbell. Campbell
devised the “Strong-Campbell
Interest Inventory," a test that
determines vocational interest. He
- also authored tlie book, “If You
Don’t Know Where You’re Going
You’ll End Up Somewhere Else."
Nine personnel officers from
Charlotte companies will be
featured in the afternoon. They will
speak about why they would
encourage a person to make a
Career change, what skills are
needed, and how often do the
companies hire career changers. .
The Women's Career Center’s
‘‘Career Changers" workshop is co
sponsored by the Mecklenburg
County Women's Commission. The
registration fee must be paid by
noon on June 14. Payments should be
