[Comm-Council] Transition Services

[HOKLIN Lonn * DO PA]

Jennifer Lara (Statewide Training, Recruitment and Development) has
requested the help of department-level communications directors and PIOs
in getting the word out on Transition Services, which address the needs
of our workforce during these unsettled times.  We have attached a
brochure that we hope you will make available to your employees,
detailing important training opportunities that address specific needs.
Also, see Jennifer's message, which follows.

 

If you have any questions, call Jennifer at the number below, or use the
e-mail link.  Thanks.  LLH

As an employer, the state of Oregon is committed to the health, well
being, and success of our workforce.  During times of economic down turn
and in the face of budget cuts, service strains, and layoffs, we must
redouble our efforts to support and nurture our workforce.   To that
end, we have developed a set of Transition Services to assist the
workforce in facing the challenges that lie ahead for all of us.  

In designing these services, we have shaped the trainings to support
three specific audiences:

*         Displaced employees

*         Retained employees

*         Managers

 

Classes available immediately are:

Change Management

Stages of transition

Generational differences

Proactive vs. Reactive

Personality styles & change

 

Being Resilient

Understanding resilient traits

Resiliency models

Generational differences

Accountability 

 

Career Change & Transition

Skill assessment

Identifying transferable skills

Occupational trends 

Career plan development

 

Job Search Strategies

Resume writing

Application tips

Effective interviewing

Social networking

 

In addition to training services, we will develop a "Transition
Services" website to provide a meaningful information resource for all
to use.  

We will extend the offer of hard copy "Transition Services" packets to
employees facing layoff.

As an agency you will provide meaningful, timely transition services to
your employees.  We are here to supplement your service delivery and can
provide all the services listed to you on-site, free of charge.  You may
choose to leverage all or some of these services and we will tailor our
transition services to meet your unique needs.

 

Please contact us for assistance:

*         e-mail:  transition.services at state.or.us

*         call our main number 503 378.8344 and an available staff

In partnership,
