"I walked into the program not having any preconceptions, and came out feeling as though I have a lot to offer the world. It gave me insight into what I did before, but also hope as to where I was walking to next...walking out with more options and more confidence!"

​"The Career Planning Workshop at Times Change is a phenomenal opportunity to find clarity and direction in the otherwise chaotic process of career transition. the incremental nature of the program not only allows for conscious, actionable decision making that leads to outcomes but the in-depth nature of the process allows participants to move forward with confidence and purpose in moving forward."
