Current students and graduates of the Capital District Women’s Employment & Resource Center (WERC) recently attended “First Impressions – Second Chances,” our annual networking event.

WERC offers in-person and online training courses to assist students with resumes, interviewing practice, job search tips, and computer knowledge. Events like this provide them with opportunities to expand their networks, build confidence, and connect directly with employers. Here’s what some of our students and graduates had to say about our program:

• “WERC gave me the confidence I needed to re-enter the workforce after years away.”
• “The resume help and interview practice were exactly what I needed to land my new job.”
• “First Impressions – Second Chances helped me make connections I never thought possible.”

We are proud to support each student on their path to success.

For information about future training classes and workshops, please call (518) 242-8249.
