Structured educational workshops designed for mid-career professionals navigating career changes, exploring new directions, and preparing for transitions.
Our workshop programs follow a four-stage educational framework: skills discovery, career exploration, portfolio development, and interview preparation. Each program can be taken individually or as part of the complete framework, depending on your current needs and transition stage.
All workshops emphasize practical application, creating tangible outputs you use in your actual career transition. Educational materials and frameworks remain relevant throughout your ongoing career development.
Identifying and Documenting Your Transferable Competencies
This workshop helps mid-career professionals identify and articulate their transferable skills—competencies that apply across different career contexts. Through structured assessment exercises, participants examine their experience systematically, categorizing technical skills, soft skills, leadership capabilities, and domain knowledge.
Participants complete documented skill inventories, categorized competency lists, and articulation frameworks. These materials form the foundation for portfolio development and interview preparation in later stages of the career transition process.
Researching and Evaluating Potential Career Paths
This workshop provides frameworks for researching potential career directions and evaluating opportunities. Participants learn methods for understanding how their skills apply in different contexts, what career paths might align with their capabilities, and how to assess different opportunities systematically.
Participants develop research documents, evaluation matrices, and decision frameworks they use to assess different career options. These materials help organize information and provide structure for making informed transition decisions.
Creating Professional Documents for Career Transitions
This workshop focuses on creating the professional documents needed for career transitions—resumes, cover letters, portfolio pieces, and other materials that present your experience and qualifications effectively. Participants learn how to reframe established experience for new contexts and highlight transferable skills.
Participants create complete sets of professional materials including resumes, cover letters, and portfolio documents tailored to their target career directions. These materials are ready to use in actual transition efforts.
Developing Frameworks for Career Transition Interviews
This workshop addresses the unique challenges of career transition interviews. Participants learn strategies for discussing why they are changing careers, how their experience transfers, and what they bring to new contexts. The workshop provides frameworks for structuring responses and presenting transferable skills confidently.
Participants develop structured response frameworks, prepared narratives for common questions, and practice materials they use for interview preparation. These frameworks provide confidence and clarity when discussing career transitions.
Work through all four workshop stages in a structured sequence, building comprehensive career transition capabilities from initial skills assessment through interview preparation. This complete program provides the most thorough educational experience for mid-career professionals at the beginning of their transition journey.

Each stage builds on previous work and outputs
Our workshops are specifically designed for mid-career professionals—individuals with established work experience who are considering or actively pursuing a career transition. Programs assume participants have professional backgrounds and focus on challenges unique to mid-career transitions.
Workshops can be taken individually or as part of the complete four-stage program. Professionals who have already completed certain aspects of their transition can focus on specific stages that address their current needs.
We offer both in-person workshops in Winnipeg and virtual options that allow participation from anywhere in Canada. Workshop content and interactive exercises work effectively in both formats.
Each workshop includes educational materials, frameworks, templates, and worksheets specific to that stage. Participants leave with tangible resources they can reference throughout their career transition process.
