Free Library of Philadelphia to Offer Career Workshops for Federal Workers

The Free Library of Philadelphia is set to host a pair of workshops designed to help federal workers “affected by the massive cuts implemented under President Donald Trump’s administration,” Metro Philadelphia reports.

Scheduled for 5 p.m. ET on Monday, April 7, at South Philadelphia Library, and 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 8 at the city’s Northeast Regional Library, the workshops will include networking with other transitioning federal workers, LinkedIn and career search tips, resources and opportunities for career transition mentorship, and volunteers from the HR profession offering resume and cover letter best practices.

Those interested in registering can do so here, according to the Free Library, which has also set up a webpage with resources for displaced federal workers and information about other workforce development programs.

“The Free Library is committed to supporting our communities in times of change and showing that we are here to help,” Kelly Richards, the Philadelphia library system’s president and director, said in a statement. “These workshops are designed to help displaced federal employees with the resources and skills to confidently navigate their job search.”
