Working Smart – Soft Skills for Workplace Success

Women’s Resource Center hosts Working Smart Soft Skill Certification classes at our office in Burlington.

David Grinstead of Alamance Community College  (ACC) leads participants through five modules on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Classes are generally from 9:30am to 12:30pm with a total of 8 classes in the series.

Employers are asking interviewees to demonstrate the knowledge gained from this participation. Having this certification from ACC at the top of your resume will open doors and add to your personnel file.
