Area residents are invited to explore career options and gain advice on making the first steps toward a
new career as Owens Community College presents several free workshops titled "Discovering Career
Choices" in July and August.
Presented by Owens’ Career Services Office, the one-hour seminars will occur in the College Hall Career
Center room 151 on the Perrysburg Township campus.
The workshops are free and open to the public, however, registration is required due to space
limitations.
Three separate career workshops will be available for area residents, which will occur on July 8 from 1
to 2 p.m.; on July 20 from 3 to 4 p.m.; and on Aug. 19 from 5 to 6 p.m.
"The ‘Discovering Career Choices’ workshop is a great opportunity for area residents to receive
assistance in matching their career-relevant interests and abilities with potential career fields that
maximize their talents," said Gentry Dixon, Owens coordinator of student and alumni placement.
During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to explore various career paths by participating in
a personal interest inventory program.
This inventory will match identified interests with occupations and what possible educational majors they
could pursue at an academic institution.
Additionally, attendees will receive career-specific literature and Web site information from Career
Services representatives to further research potential occupations.
To register, contact the college’s Career Services Office at (567) 661-7501 or (800) GO-OWENS, ext. 7501.
