After the Diploma: Money Troubles and Getting a Job is Top of Mind for Student Graduates - Breakthrough Seminar to Help Alleviate Their Fears
The Workforce Group today announced its Atlanta 2005 offering of The Workforce Survival Clinic, a ground-breaking workshop specifically designed to teach students how to exceed employer expectations, navigate the workplace political games, and become as financially successful as possible, once they get a job.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 8, 2005 -- Brian F., a recent graduate, just
received a job offer from an attractive Wall Street accounting firm. He has
reason to believe the firm is “low-balling” the offer, to see if he will take
it. How should he express his concerns about the low offer without offending
anyone?
Students will struggle with these types of questions and more
during their quest to become gainfully employed in the workforce. Experts say
that making one wrong decision regarding job selection, compensation, benefits,
or workplace assimilation can have up to a 40% impact on future compensation and
promotability. The Workforce Survival Clinic was created by The Workforce Group,
LLC as a result of an independent survey of over 1000 high school and college
graduates across North America, asking them what were their largest concerns as
they prepared to complete their education and enter the workforce. Money
concerns (college financing, personal investing, and being financially
independent) and securing a job in which they will enjoy and prosper were by far
the top rated concerns of this 16-24 age group, scoring 45% and 37%
respectively. Navigating college life, work-life balance, and dealing with
difficult bosses/co-workers were the next highest scoring categories.
“Our workshops have been in high demand since we
created the curriculum in 2004 and the popularity continues to rise,” says Karan
Rhodes. “Students tell us that there are few outlets where they can get this
type of information directly from business professionals, but focused on their
needs. We also have many adult participants who are currently or planning to
transition to a new job come to brush up on their skills.”
The Workforce Survival Clinics are presented by Karan
Rhodes, Curriculum Director and Managing Principal of The Workforce Group. The
Atlanta 2005 session will be held on July 30, 2005 at The Smyrna Community
Center in Smyrna, Georgia. For more information, visit www.theworkforcegroup.com to register or call Karan Rhodes at

educational worlds, teaching course models. Corporate sponsorship opportunities
are available.
