Brattleboro, VT — A new training series for adults, “Digital Literacy Basics for Career Growth”, is being provided by BDCC to help more people harness the power of technology to achieve their career goals. Whether you are making a career change, entering a new career, or looking to advance in your chosen profession, digital skills can help with your next steps.
Over six sessions, students will become familiar with technology to find the right job, create a skills-based resume, and crush a virtual job interview. Participants will learn to manage their “Digital Footprint” to impress potential employers, and get familiar with online learning platforms that are gateways to skill-building and career advancement. Classes are free and in person at BDCC’s new Flat Street location in Brattleboro.
There will be three information sessions in December to learn more:
