The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh alumni office has teamed up with TalentMarks to provide a Career Speaker Series for Titan alumni and friends that includes over 30 free webinars and lectures. The Career Speaker Series will provide career and professional development from some of the nation’s top career authors.
“We are excited to offer the free career speakers series because we are committed to helping our alumni reach their career goals,” Alumni Relations Director Chris Gantner said. “From new grads early in the job search process, to those seeking career advice, to alumni looking to retire, this series has something for everyone provided by some of the nation’s top career authors.”
Four different webinars will be offered each month; Career Search, Career Discussions, Career Skills and Career Encores. Career Search provides guidance to those looking for a job, Career Discussions provides guidance to those thinking about a career change or dealing with issues at work, Career Skills provides professional development advice and Career Encores provides guidance to those with retirement on the horizon.
