Brandman University offering class for jobless

Brandman University is offering a free advanced career strategies course at its Ontario campus to help unemployed professionals learn valuable job search skills.

Participants will meet six days, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from Aug. 15 through Aug. 26 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Each day will be divided into five hours of classroom hands-on workshops and two hours working on a realistic, measurable implementation plan. There will be three to five hours of homework before each class, including the first class.

To register, email name, email address, and phone number to Shelton@brandman.edu. At least 20 students must be registered for the class to be held.

The course was developed by John Hall, who was recently awarded Pepperdine University's Orange County Alumni Association's 2010 Waves of Service Award for his work with Orange County's unemployed.
