Charlotte Employment Workshop - GE Veterans Network Transition Assistance Program

The employment workshop consisted of GE's own veteran employees conducting one-on-one mentoring sessions with all pre-registered participants, from 11 am- 3 pm.  Mentoring sessions focused on resume building, resume writing, and interviewing techniques for all job-seeking veteran and service member participants.

Interested candidates completed the FREE electronic pre-registration in order to participate.  A maximum of 60 participants were allowed to pre-register for the workshop.  Once the pre-registered candidates have their coaching sessions, the opportunity may be available for “walk ins” to have a coaching session through the end of the Fair (depending on availability).
