By Kate Graham Rainey

Joseph’s People Central Delco (JPCD) will host a free session, Nov. 21, on Psychological Motivation through the Job Search. The session will be held from 7-8:30 p.m., in the Parish Hall of St. Laurence Church. The church is located at 8245 West Chester Pike, Upper Darby, and the entrance to Parish Hall is from the rear church driveway off of St. Laurence Road. All are welcome, regardless of religious affiliation.

Featured speaker is Dr. Brandi Baldwin-Rana, founder of Millennial Ventures, which provides professionals with tools for leadership and career freedom. A former Psychology and Business professor at Temple University, Lancaster Bible College and Johns Hopkins, she will teach those in transition what they have been doing wrong and how to make it right.

Job seekers will experience an interactive workshop that will offer an opportunity to renew their faith, release doubt and get motivated by 2018. Come out and learn how to improve networking skills and leave with a clear plan to help navigate searching for employment during the holidays.
