Career Services for the Women’s Resource Center (New!)

The Career Services program for the Women’s Resource Center provides volunteer opportunities for PHRPS members who want to help women enter, or re-enter the workforce.  Monthly one-on-one meetings and group sessions are held in Wayne PA, contributing to the lives of women and their families, the community, and to workforce readiness in our region.  Contact:  Shannon Breuer - sbreuer@mkbpartners.com.

What is it?

• This new Community Connections program offers PHRPS members the opportunity to help women prepare to enter the workforce through an affiliation with the Women’s Resource Center (WRC,) a non-profit organization located in Wayne PA.
• The WRC has supported women for over 30 years, through information and referral, counseling, legal advice, educational workshops and programs to empower and support women, strengthen families and communities.
• Career Services for the Women’s Resource Center offers 2 distinct programs: 
• Career Guidance over Coffee - Group sessions are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday morning of each month, Upstairs at the Gryphon Café in Wayne.
• Individual Career Consultation–Getting Started - Held on the 3rd Thursday evening of each month at the Women’s Resource Center in Wayne.

• Group facilitators will have experience working with groups of up to 15 participants, and a strong ability to manage various personalities and needs while maintaining a targeted focus to the objective.
• Group facilitators will be able to present and facilitate topical discussions such as “networking for the job search,” “understanding and communicating your value,” etc.
