The Transferable Skills Workshop Series starts Oct. 16.
The city of Chandler’s Economic Development Division and Arizona State University’s College of Integrative Sciences and Arts have announced the launch of the series, according to a news release.
It's a zero-cost workforce development initiative aimed at enhancing the adaptability and competitiveness of both Chandler’s general population and ASU students.
The free series, hosted at the ASU Chandler Innovation Center, at 249 E. Chicago St., in Chandler, will include workshops that focus on developing transferable skills that are critical across industries.
Each 2024 workshop is on a Wednesday evening from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. More workshops are planned for 2025.
The topics and dates are:
Oct. 16: Cultural Proficiency in Professional Environments
Nov. 6: Social Media for Business
Nov. 13: Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace and Classroom.
The series is designed to empower participants with the tools and knowledge necessary to develop their “soft skills” and excel in modern workplaces, particularly in sectors that form the backbone of Chandler’s economy, such as advanced manufacturing, healthcare and information technology.
Workshops will be conducted by seasoned professionals and academics.
Participants will have the opportunity to earn free "micro-credential" digital badges upon completion of each workshop to enhance their resumes and digital profiles on LinkedIn.
The workshops are open to all, aiming to benefit job seekers looking to upskill, students wanting to pair their technical knowledge with soft skill development, and employers interested in enhancing their teams’ capabilities.
Registration details and the full workshop schedule are available on the Transferable Skills Workshop Series webpage and on the newly launched Chandler Career Center platform.
