Overview
In 2020, a group of vocational/counseling psychologists, career practitioners, and a sociologist convened to discuss the unemployment crisis as a result of the pandemic. The team concurred that the challenges evoked by massive job losses require comprehensive and flexible sources of support and skill building. While developed at the outset of the pandemic, The WIN intervention continues to be relevant and effective in addressing the challenges job seekers and individuals in career transition face today: Work Intervention Network Evaluation Study - Journal of Career Assessment.

Focusing on the psychosocial/systemic issues facing job seekers, and building on the excellent services that are already available via college and community-based career service centers, training programs, and independent providers, the WIN team designed six 75-90 minute sessions that can be delivered as a workshop series to support individuals as they search for work. Topics include Deepening and Sustaining Relationships, Fostering Social Awareness and Reducing Self-Blame, Building Emotional Resilience and Self-Care, and Planning, Exploring, and Engaging in the Job Search.

The Training
This 90-minute virtual training will provide you with an overview of the Work Intervention Network (WIN) and the workshop the team has created for alumni in the midst of a job search or experiencing a career transition. While it is not a step-by-step training, the WIN Team will provide you with information and will review the manual (provided as part of the training) as well as what you can expect when you facilitate a WIN workshop. The goal is to have training participants walk away with the "taste and texture" of WIN and the workshop model that has been developed, so prospective facilitators are comfortable facilitating the workshop for alumni who would benefit.

About WIN
The Work Interventions Network (WIN) is a Pan International Collaboration of Practitioners and Researchers exploring the intersection of work and mental health & wellness. To learn more about the Work Intervention Network (WIN), the WIN Team and the workshop modules, visit www.bc.edu/win.

Please Note: WIN's intention is to disseminate this workshop content as widely as possible within institutions of higher learning. Accordingly, facilitators are encouraged to offer workshops with the stipulation that you do so at no charge to participants. In addition, the workshops which participants will be trained to facilitate are designed to be used by alumni/career service professionals who have experience in working with groups and in providing supportive work-based interventions. More specialized training in mental health is not needed to deliver these workshops.
