The Professional Placement Network Academy (PPNA) is hosting a series of interactive workshops on topics designed to help every jobseeker. The next event will focus on entrepreneurship and will be held Thursday, June 20 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Hilton Durham, located at 3800 Hillsborough Rd., Durham (near Duke University). Events occur the third Thursday of every month and other topics for later this year will include how to a financial plan in today’s economy. New for this year, participants who attend four classes will also gain entrance to a unique, invitation-only employment networking event.
The PPNA is designed to provide opportunities for mid-to-upper level professionals who have earned at least $30,000 per year or have received higher education credentials or professional certifications. PPNA provides a place for professionals to come together to share ideas, employment leads, and current job market information.
Participants interested in learning more about the PPNA or attending these Thursday evening events should visit the website or RSVP.
