Coffee & Career Conversations with Owatonna Adult Education
A FRESH APPROACH TO ADULT LEARNING
What is Coffee & Career Conversations:
Imagine sitting down with our Adult learners in one of our classrooms, chatting about education and career goals, challenges, and opportunities within your business or organization. These are informal, small group sessions designed to help adult learners reflect on their career paths, explore new possibilities, and strategize their next steps.
Why it works:
1. Personalized Guidance: These conversations allow for tailored advice based on individual needs and aspirations.
2. Building Trust: The relaxed atmosphere uplifts our community, making learners feel heard and supported.
3. Skill Development: Discussions often touch on transferable skills like time management and professional communication, and technical skills like measurement and analysis.
