Partnership Helps Professionals in Career Transitioning Process

Penn State Great Valley's Alumni Society will partner with My Career Transitions to provide My Career Transitions' free, monthly forum for area professionals so that they can learn, exchange information, and develop networking relationships to help themselves through job transition.

What is now called "My Career Transitions" was started in 2005 by volunteer and group leader, Bart Ruff. Over the past 5 years (and thanks to a few mergers of groups from Company of Friends and ASTD, volunteers, and venue sponsors along the way) the group has helped more than 4,000 area professionals navigate job transition. And they've done it without funding - relying on the efforts of an all-volunteer group that contributes their time as a way to “pay it forward” and help others. “The purpose of the group is to be a resource for professionals who, despite successful careers, simply don't know how to navigate a downsizing or other career change, so they're not alone. I am pleased that Penn State will host us and sponsor our mission so that we can continue to help people without any cost to them." said Ruff.

Monthly meetings will be held the second Saturday of every month (except Dec and Aug.) at the Penn State Great Valley campus at 30 E. Swedesford Rd., Malvern. They feature a speaker that educates the group on a relevant topic and opportunities for networking and support.

NOTE: All meetings are currently virtual until further notice.
