Program

Enterprising Women: Women in Transition
Show #2070
Original Airdate: 8/12/07

Description

On this Enterprising Women special, we look at women in transition in the workforce and what it takes to overcome the challenges and obstacles they face. Women in transition include those entering, reentering or advancing in the workplace. Through job preparation counseling, one-on-one assessments of skills and interests, and connecting women to training and education programs, millions of women have successfully made the transition and their stories could prove inspirational to other women who are currently struggling. Women of diverse backgrounds can also learn more about resources available to help launch their careers or break through barriers they had previously experienced in the workplace. Additionally, the concept and importance of networking, and the ability to market oneself in this highly competitive work environment will also be explored.
