This fall, Liberal Arts Career Services continues its series of targeted workshops designed to train liberal arts majors with specific tools for success in the workplace. These practical skills will give job seekers an advantage over the competition in a number of career fields. Our guest instructors bring experience using these tools in their industries, and they’ll train you on using these for yourself. Check out the next workshop on our Fall 2016 schedule below and RSVP today to secure your spot!
