Crafting Your Boutique Employability for a New Market

a sequence of virtual sessions for global talents looking to establish their professional presence in the new market

Date:

Saturday, October 8, 2022

Time:

Boston: 9 AM – 4 PM

Kyiv: 16:00 – 23:00

WHAT THE COURSE IS ABOUT

The “Your Boutique Employability” introductory course provides you with a sequence of FIVE sessions, which lead you through the questions and choices you make when deciding whether to enter a new professional market at the level relevant to your expertise. 

  • YOU: What are my options as an educated international newcomer? 
  • MARKET ENTRY: How can I enter a professional market at my level? 
  • EMPLOYABILITY: What should I focus on in crafting my employability for that market? 
  • INTEGRATION: How can I integrate into a new environment – culturally and personally? 
  • ACTION: What’s next? 

METHODOLOGY

The course is a sequence of virtual sessions. Each session covers options and choices that allow you to feel empowered and ready to navigate your way in a new market. The sessions include short video presentations and practicums to clarify your options and steps you can follow IF you decide that you want employability freedom. It refers to the results of your assessment “Is Boutique Employability For You? and “My Glide,” explaining your stand towards your goals and options. The last session is a coaching session in employer outreach that synchronizes your expertise and the market of your choice.

WHO THE COURSE IS FOR

The course is most relevant for educated people who are ready to enter a new professional market – physically moving to a new country or region or virtually positioning themselves as global players. Our special attention in 2022 is to people from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia who had to escape the horror of the war and authoritarian regimes.
