Facilitating Career Development Training Great for Jobs Plus Programs Teams!
I loved the Facilitating Career Development Training and would recommend the LDW Group to any Jobs Plus staff. The activities and assignments provoke thoughtful discussions, specifically completing the e-portfolio. I had to dig deep and learned so much about myself. This assignment also reminded me of the skill sets I had already accomplished, helping me be a better leader for the team.  Our main goal is to assist residents/clients find meaningful career opportunities.  It’s important for Jobs Plus staff to be trained properly in the area of developing effective job search strategies, assisting clients/residents in setting realistic goals that they can achieve, as well as assisting them with the decision-making process.  It is important that we do NOT decide for them but lead them down the pathway to making their own decisions. The core competencies specifically helped in the area of Program Management/Implementation.  I learned how to be a better partner as I am more intentional about referring clients/residents to the specificities of the partner.  It also supported the thought of collaboration and communication is the number one ingredient needed for strong partnerships. I would recommend the LDW Group to any Jobs Plus staff.  The activities and assignments provoke thoughtful discussions, specifically completing the e-portfolio.  It made me dig deep.  I learned so much about myself.  This assignment also helped me remember the skill sets that I had already accomplished.   This in turn helps me be a better leader for the JPP team.  With the Facilitating Career Development training, we can help change the landscape of public housing!

Linda was organized and responsive throughout the NCDA training process. She provided clear guidance on how to navigate the course and complete the required assignments. Although the training was largely self-paced, she was available to answer questions and offered support when needed. Our Zoom meetings were a helpful touchpoint. Overall, Linda created a structured and accessible environment for completing the training.

After being away from career counseling for more than six years, my participation in the NCDA FCD training program with Dr. Woodard at the LDW Group has provided me with an excellent update on the information and materials needed to re-enter the field of career counseling.

In contracting with Dr. Woodard to provide Facilitating Career Development training to nearly 200 state agency staff, I found her to approach to be energizing, positive and supportive of diverse backgrounds and experiences.
