PROFESSIONAL WOMEN'S GROUP (PWG)

WHAT IS PWG?

Join other newly employed folks and learn skills, tips and best practices as you enter the new workplace.

This is a free ongoing group providing the opportunity for you to virtually meet with other working women while having exclusive access to presentations and workshops to support your life and career. The PWG meets regularly for programming with speakers from the community. Examples of program themes include financial education and planning, career development, the written and unwritten rules of the workplace, health and wellness, communication, and leadership skills.

The group is designed to empower you and to help you succeed and grow in your career for the long term. Join us to network, meet new friends, learn new skills and strategies as well as hear about topics that range from working with supervisors, solving workplace problems, creating work-life balance, and advancing in your career to building self-esteem and organizing your time and space.
