Beyond Traditional Job Development
|
 There is good reason that this book is affectionately referred to as the job developer's Bible. Whether they be seasoned workforce professionals or newly-hired placement staff, this book is a goldmine of insights and tools for all readers. More than just a "how to" book, it is written in a spirit of respect and celebration for the job seeker, the job developer and the employer alike.
Here are a few words taken from the preface:
"Today the challenges and opportunities of the job developer are greater than ever, and the need for our services is felt more acutely than ever by those we serve. Never has there been a greater need for job developers to take an intelligent, business-minded, proactive and revolutionary approach to creating employment opportunities in our local communities... This book is as much for the rebel and the dreamer as it is for the goal-oriented pragmatist...Take what you like, add your own perspective, and continue shaping the work that you do as time and experience unfolds."
Author - Denise Bissonnette
Softcover, 256 pages and 1-hour audio CD
This title is included in the cost of regular registration for the Beyond Traditional Job Development two-day event presented by author, Denise Bissonnette, in Winnipeg, MB, Canada on October 17 & 18, 2012.
