University of Phoenix Employment Workshop

The University of Phoenix employment workshop consists of a classroom session beginning at noon followed by HR professionals  conducting one-on-one mentoring sessions with all pre-registered participants.  Mentoring sessions focus on resume building, resume writing, and interviewing techniques for all job-seeking veteran and service member participants.

Interested candidates must complete the FREE electronic pre-registration in order to participate.  A maximum of 50 participants will be accepted for the full 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).  Please sign up here.
