Want to find out what it takes to achieve your dream career?


Wednesday, December 1st

4:00-5:30pm

Downtown Branch Community Room and Online Via Zoom

Program is for ages 12-18


Look no further, the Santa Cruz Public Libraries, in collaboration with Your Future is Our Business, are gathering four local professionals to speak and discuss about their respective job sector. This hybrid event will host an online seminar that anybody can access remotely, and at the same time, hold a screening in the Downtown Meeting Room for any interested teen.


This event is part of the Santa Cruz Workforce Collaborative grant. The Santa Cruz Workforce Collaborative will offer a holistic approach to jobseekers at various levels of need by bringing together information about local workforce programs in the library's Navigation Center, creating a much needed roadmap of services, and providing bilingual, 1-on-1, and workshop-based support to individuals in navigating the career development process.


For any question, please contact Iván Llamas at llamasi@santacruzpl.org.
