WHAT IS NEW AT ROBBIN AND ASSOCIATES?
* I have just completed developing a new webinar titled Upward Bound! How to Teach People to Advance on the Job! In workforce development we often think that if we just get people into training or an apprenticeship, it will be the final step, and they will move up in the workforce. That is not true. People need to learn a set of competencies about how to position themselves for promotions, when and how to ask for a better job or a pay raise and how to negotiate with their boss when their request is turned down. These are just a few of the upward bound competencies people need to master. This webinar will take your work to the next level where people are fully equipped to know how to advance.

* Another new webinar that I have developed lately is titled World of Work Awareness That Workforce Development Professionals Need to Know! How to Prepare People for Jobs and Careers that Do Not Exist! This is my attempt to help workforce staff and management learn how to prepare people for jobs and careers that do not exist. It raises important questions about how our organizations and we as individuals need to change to help people survive and thrive in the chaos economy. For a description of the webinar click here. I also do a version of the webinar focused on people in education. I just did the education version of the webinar for the Inland Empire Desert Regional Consortium which is a very large partnership of community colleges, universities, high schools and other education programs located in Southern California.
* My popular series of articles for the Advantage Newsletter of the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals is continuing with a new series titled, Tools You Can Use! Handouts to Help People Make Employment Progress! These articles will feature my free innovative employment counseling handouts that you can use with job seekers to improve their employment outcomes. To join NAWDP go to http://www.NAWDP.org and look into the many benefits you will get from being a NAWDP member.
* I am very proud to announce that my long standing client, the Ventura County Workforce Development Board, will be sponsoring a series of six of my webinars starting next year. Thanks so much to Executive Director Rebecca Evans and Assistant Director Norman Albances for bringing me back to present more webinars for their organization. The webinars will cover improving services for dislocated workers, how to serve more people in less time, new ways to eliminate barriers to employment, soft skills training, innovative recruitment strategies and improving customer service. If you would like to get descriptions of any of these webinars, email me at larry@larryrobbin.com.
