Career Assessment and Awareness Program – FocusNOW

This free career assessment and awareness program presented by Dr. Herman L. Reid, Jr., EdD, is for young adults (ages 12 to 25) who are interested in developing a personal career plan.
Parents are welcome to attend the Saturday session too. Following pizza and introductions, Dr. Reid will talk about career options and skills needed.

After taking a brief personality test, participants will create career plans based on their strengths. Career paths to be discussed include: accounting, auto and diesel mechanic, building maintenance, computer programming, computer specialist, dental assistant, electrician, graphic design, heating and air conditioning, hospitality and travel, legal administration, medical assistant, merchandising management, network management, office administration, paralegal, and welding. Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation is facilitating this series of six Saturday sessions in historic neighborhoods where it is at work. Each session is limited to 20 young adults (plus parents) RSVP required by the Tuesday preceding the Saturday event.
