Do you lend a helping hand to people in need as your career or want to? If yes, then clear your schedule!

Starting October 15, Penn Foster will hold its First Annual Helping Professions Conference. The week-long conference will consist of webinars for students, alumni, professionals, and guests.

You’ll connect with fellow helping professionals and improve practices that will empower you to succeed in your field. Penn Foster’s helping professions include Allied Health, Early Childhood, Pharmacy Technician, and Veterinary Technician.

A career in the helping professions means you have a desire to help others. Whether you’re working with people or animals, your career will be rewarding, as you have the ability to positively impact someone’s life. That’s why it’s important to learn the valuable skills you need to ensure you’re career ready. The webinar topics will expand across various helping professions, increase your knowledge, and challenge your thinking.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store:

• Work on your people, communication, and social skills during the “Why Soft Skills Matter” webinar.
• If you’re a future Pharmacy Technician, learn what your day-to-day will look like during the “A Day in the Shoes of a Pharmacy Technician” webinar.
• Are you in need of new sensory activities in your classroom? Join the “Sensational Sensory Activities to Spice Up Your Sensory Center” webinar to learn why sensory activities in early childhood learning are important.
• Small animals need dental care, too! That’s why it’s important to know basic dental techniques. The webinar, “Basic Dental Care and Microscopy Skills in a Robotic World” will show examples of the importance of microscopy skills.
• If you’re working or seeking employment as a medical assistant, you won’t want to miss the “Standout as a Medical Assistant Professional” webinar. You’ll learn resume building skills, interviewing techniques, and more!
