I loved the Facilitating Career Development Training and would recommend the LDW Group to any Jobs Plus staff. The activities and assignments provoke thoughtful discussions, specifically completing the e-portfolio. I had to dig deep and learned so much about myself. This assignment also reminded me of the skill sets I had already accomplished, helping me be a better leader for the team. Our main goal is to assist residents/clients find meaningful career opportunities. It’s important for Jobs Plus staff to be trained properly in the area of developing effective job search strategies, assisting clients/residents in setting realistic goals that they can achieve, as well as assisting them with the decision-making process. It is important that we do NOT decide for them but lead them down the pathway to making their own decisions. The core competencies specifically helped in the area of Program Management/Implementation. I learned how to be a better partner as I am more intentional about referring clients/residents to the specificities of the partner. It also supported the thought of collaboration and communication is the number one ingredient needed for strong partnerships. I would recommend the LDW Group to any Jobs Plus staff.
