We are in the midst of some of the most challenging economic times since the Great Depression. Economic malaise and unemployment is endemic to North America and particularly matters of concern for young people who are becoming trapped in what is becoming known as 'The Lost Generation'. Do you know a young person, new professional immigrant or someone returning into the workforce who could use some help to get their career going, or get it set up on the right track? This group will take part in break-through total immersion, interactive and dynamic presentations presented by Andy J. Semotiuk, a U.S. and Canadian immigration lawyer who has helped over 10,000 clients, including hundreds of young professionals, with legal problems in the course of his 30 year career. The presentations will help young professionals learn a wide range of critical skills needed to better compete in today's workforce. Skills such as goal setting, effective speaking and writing, networking, motivation, finding your unique ability and negotiation, as presented in Mr. Semotiuk's career guidebook The Young Professional, will be explored at meetings. Could someone you know use improvement in any of these areas? Please pass this information on to anyone who you think might find it helpful.
