KANNAPOLIS — R3 Career Services is offering numerous career development workshops and resume clinics in August for adults in Rowan and Cabarrus counties. Workshops and clinics are provided free-of-charge.
The R3 Center will offer a health care workshop throughout August.
“Healthcare occupations are on the rise, but is it right field for you?” said Keri Allman, director of R3 Career Services. “‘Should I Become a Nurse Aide?’ is designed to help individuals explore this career field. At this workshop, you will hear occupational information and learn the about training leading to certification.”
The “Should I Become a Nurse Aide?” workshop will be held on Wednesdays in August at 2 p.m. at the College’s R3 Center in Kannapolis.
