At Issue with Ben Merens- Dr. King Talks Unemployment and ReTraining
Dr. Kathleen King was the guest expert on Wisconsin Public radio (WPR) with Ben Merens November 10, 2009 for a special 1 hour segment discussion and call-in show on unemployment and retraining. Dr. King answered questions and provided critical information about how adults can handle the unemployment trends, consider new career opportunities and weigh retraining options.
Kathy provides detailed guidance on not only using The Occupational Outlook Handbook online, but also accessing state and county based information for career needs and projections. Topics extend from trends in up and coming jobs and careers, options for certification choices, unemployment benefits, to OneStop Centers, Wisconsin specific benefits, new veterans’ scholarships and many online resources. The variety of needs revealed among the callers is enlightening and helpful in fleshing out how different situations can be handled and addressed.
Of course, given Kathy’s emphasis on adult transformative learning, she does not miss the opportunity to discuss how stages of development, new opportunities, determination, and vision can be indispensable during this job hunting process.
