CareerCamp Fort Collins #7 - November 14, 2011 - Register for Free!

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 19:11:02 -0600

WE’RE BACK!

Did you know that, officially, 18% of those 16-24 are unemployed? And, if you include other official stats in that measure, what we call “corrected” unemployment, that number rises to almost 25%.

There’s got to be a different way! And that’s why we’re bringing back CareerCamp in November at Everyday Joe’s Coffee House in Fort Collins.

Click here to register for free.

Not sold yet? Want to attend a FREE conference led by your peers, rather than some high-and-might experts? Want to have real control over what you’re learning, what’s offered, and when? Have something to teach others? Want some help networking or coming up with ideas on your resumes, cover letters, interview skills, and job search abilities? Want an alternative to the 9-5 office job? You’ll find all of it and more at CareerCamp.

See you there!

Colorado's Job Growth Lagging Behind

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 13:10:05 -0700

Colorado's Job Growth Lagging Behind:

“Senior Economist Scott Anderson and Economist Ed Kashmarek reported Tuesday that while employment growth in Colorado has rebounded from its trough of -5.7 percent year-over-year in August 2009 to -0.5 percent in November 2010, it still lags the national 0.6 percent increase. Even though year-over-year growth has improved, the state has still lost 27,900 jobs since the end of the national recession in June 2009.”

Economic reports are showing no job growth in September. Which tells me that it’s probably a good time to do another CareerCamp in Fort Collins.

When and where would you like to see the next CareerCamp Fort Collins?

CareerCamp Postponed

Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:21:00 -0600

CareerCamp on Monday, June 21 has been postponed!

We inadvertently planned Camp on top of the NoCoNet Job Fair, which put a lot of people in a conundrum! So, rather than make people choose - we’re postponing CareerCamp for a bit.

There may be mini-events or updates along the way, so be sure to check the site for details.

“I thought that #5 was the best LaidOffCamp yet. It was well organized and had just the right mix of people wanting to learn and willing to facilitate a session. I am always thrilled to see people sharing and learning from one another. LaidOffCamp is one of the most energizing events to attend in Fort Collins.”

LaidOffCamp and CareerCamp

Mon, 10 May 2010 10:24:50 -0600

If you’ve been listening to the radio in Northern Colorado, you probably heard Lucinda mention something about CareerCamp.

CareerCamp is a twist on LaidOffCamp.

Where LaidOffCamp is mostly to support people going from Careers to being Unemployed, CareerCamp is mostly to support people going from being Unemployed to Careers.

We’re integrating the best parts of both LaidOffCamp and CareerCamp to make sure everyone in attendance gets what they need!

Here’s our free registration page: http://laidoffcamp6.eventbrite.com/

“

LaidOffCamp felt intimate — there were great core conversations happening, whether in the conference rooms or even in the hallway. I felt like there was an environment of trust — a lot of people shared vulnerable experiences & thoughts about their job search process.

I loved the session on freelancers — we bounced great ideas around and a lot of us seemed to have resources/ideas to share with each other. I was actually kind of (pleasantly) surprised by some of the awesome connections made between people during and after that session.

“The collective wisdom at Laid Off Camp exceeds what I get at expensive workshops. The brilliant structure gives people, whom for the most part have no motive but to help one another, an outlet to share their knowledge with someone who might benefit. There’s never any selling, and people have a genuine intention to help you. You never know what you’ll get at Laid Off Camp, but one thing for sure, you’ll get whatever it is you need.”

We're Aiming For 20% of You

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 09:30:36 -0600

In January of 2010, 8.2% of Colorado’s population was unemployed. If you count under-employment and other relevant statuses, this number is closer to 20%.

Help us by making LaidOffCamp Fort Collins the largest free event for unemployed or creatively self-employed people. We’re here to help people find the best in themselves when they’re feeling their worst.

Here’s a link to the event: http://laidoffcamp5.eventbrite.com/

Share it with anyone you think could use a little help, hope, inspiration, or support. Share it on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook… anywhere.

Everyone deserves to feel valued. Help us spread the word.
