With the New Year upon us what are some goals you have thought about for yourself. Are they short term goals, long term goals or does planning ahead seem to unrealistic seeing as the pandemic is still with us. Even during a time of uncertainty it is good to have goals even if they are small goals, day to day, week to week, personal, vocational or educational. Whatever timeframe you give yourself or goals you’re striving for, keep moving ahead. Why? Having a sense of purpose, a task, a reason to stay positive and get up each day is important.

We have been busy planning out activities for 2021 and our main goal is to excite you into new adventures for success in your job search, your road in getting there and the possibilities of reaching those goals. If you have dreamt it, come share your plans with us and let us help you create an individualized plan to get there. Everybody is different, that is the beauty in working with each one of our new clients who walk in the door.

Start asking yourself: What do I want to be when I grow up? That’s funny for many of us who are past our twenties and beyond, but it isn’t if you are still searching for that job you’ve always dreamed about. Ask yourself questions to help you center on what careers may possibly be best for you.

• Do I like to work independently or as a team?
• Do I like to be sitting all day or to be active throughout the day?
• Do I like repetitive tasks or a change in routine every day?
• Do I like to be outdoors or prefer indoors?
• Would I like to dress up each day for work?
• Are you organized, does everything have to be in its place?
• Do you like to clean?
• Do you like to cook?
• Would you like to work around people or a more private setting?
• Are you good with numbers?

This year we look forward to helping you find your full potential in a career that you love. Whether it’s through training, on-line
classes, work experience, going into full employment, our VR team is here for you at the Training and Employment Resource Center.
