The workshops are as follows:

Introductions and Orientation –Tuesday, September 21 (primarily to get acquainted with the technology and with fellow participants)
Mindset Matters – Wednesday, September 22
My Career Journey – Wednesday, September 29
Tools for the Journey – Wednesday, October 6
Networking – Wednesday, October 13

For DC based participants there will be 2 additional workshops on resume and interviewing which will be specific to the US market.

Resume Writing – Wednesday, October 20
Interviewing - Wednesday, October 27

All sessions will be 90 mins long to allow time for interaction and Q&A. Each session builds on the preceding one, therefore for this to be a meaningful activity we strongly recommend that you commit to attending all 5 sessions and all 7 sessions if you are based in Washington DC.

A link to join the sessions will be sent out to all registered and confirmed participants at a later date.

Here is what past participants have said about their experience in the Virtual Career Lab:

As soon as the career lab went "virtual," I signed up for the first session, and I'm glad I did. As a decentralized spouse, I had been waiting for the career lab to move online and was thrilled when it did. It's worthwhile for any World Bank spouse, who is trying to pursue a career in a new country or while moving from country to country. Amy Sevimli, Kingston, Jamaica.

"I found the tools I learned at the first virtual Career Lab very helpful, not only for the job search but also to feel confident and optimistic. The virtual modality was not a barrier, the resources used made the distance invisible and was able to listen to the experiences of "friends" from different parts of the world. Really exciting!!!" Federico Hahn, Metro DC.
