Do you have the feeling that you could be contributing at a higher level?
Have you been bouncing around from job to job, but have yet to feel truly inspired by your work? Or, maybe you’d like to figure out how you can land a job at a more innovative company.
No matter where you currently stand in your career planning, there are mental models and exercises that can help bring clarity and an underlying sense of design to your career.


GOALS
In this three-hour, hands-on workshop, we’ll help you create a career roadmap that is rooted in personal clarity and strategic planning. You’ll leave the evening with a clear understanding for:
Your values, drivers, and motivation
What a fulfilling and successful career looks like
Your personal career theme and personal narrative


ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY CLASSES
Startup Institute Community Classes aim to extend tech education and career training to the greater community of Boston, at the same time supporting mission-driven nonprofits in our city. Proceeds from these events go to programming and scholarships that support inclusion in the tech sector. This month's featured nonprofit is Dress For Success, an organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools needed to thrive in work and in life. Interested in this org? You can get involved here.


COST
Your $5 admission fee will be donated to Dress For Success and used to further the education and careers of women in our city. Want to give more? Check out the Dress For Success wish list on Amazon Smile to donate in-demand clothing items directly to their Boston boutique.
