Take a deep dive into Jobscan’s new/improved ATS findings and best practices.
Discover ways to monetize your service offering using Jobscan.

Teach College Students and New Grads to Fish to Ensure a Lifetime of Success

Presented by Cathy Lanzalaco, NCOPE, CPRW, CPCC, CEMP, MBA, RN, SPHR, SHRM-SCP

Friday, May 15, 2020, 12:30 p.m., ET – 1:30 p.m., ET

Cathy believes that to teach a new student or new grad “to fish” is a far better gift than to simply give them a fish, laying the foundation for greater, long-term success, both personally and professionally. Engaging students and new grads as a niche audience in your business can also reap great revenue rewards. Well-meaning parents often hit a wall once their child has graduated college and they don’t know how to help them anymore.

The Inspire Careers “Student Professional Launch Program” is based on helping students and new grads develop confidence in their abilities and learn to take responsibility for their careers. It provides them with support to reap the benefits of coaching at the start of their careers, building trust and a long-term partnership that will serve them throughout their lives. This is a win for them and a win for your business! Parents recognize that, just as paying for their child’s education was an investment, so is the “Student Professional Launch Program” — and they are willing to make the investment to ensure their child’s success.

Join Cathy on this webinar to learn:

Why these clients need a program vs. products.
How to decide what offerings to include in your program and how to price them.
How to keep students/new grads engaged with your business throughout their careers.

This one-hour webinar is $19.99 for NRWA members and $39.99 for nonmembers and does not qualify for a CEU. It will be recorded and distributed to all participants.

About Cathy Lanzalaco:

Cathy Lanzalaco is a ROAR-winning resume writer, certified career coach, LinkedIn expert, certified empowerment and motivational professional, and owner of Inspire Careers, located in Buffalo, NY.

With 15+ years of experience in human resources, Cathy gives her clients the perspective from “the other side of the desk.” She serves job seekers and those in career transition, from students and new grads to executives nationwide and across the globe.
