Welcome fellow detectives. First off, I have a special thanks to my counterpart at the Edmonton MFRC, Brenda. She spearheaded this episode. Brenda, you are a rock star, but I think you already know that.

As you know I often say that I’m not 24 anymore, making offhanded statements like that, but am I being ageist? Against myself? As Brenda and I discussed this, we spoke about reverse ageism and our thoughts on how ages and stages affect employability and job search. The more we chatted the more questions we had, and I knew exactly who to call.

Join us as we welcome Lisa Taylor – President of Challenge Factory. Lisa gives us deeper insight into the terms we use, giving us some excellent suggestions and insight about ageism and what’s happening when we think about age.

So, if you're ready, let’s get started because as always, the clues await!

Welcome Fellow Detectives. Have you ever wondered what could happen when you get two CCDP’s in one office? Maybe you are not even sure what a CCDP is. Well, let me tell you, in the world of job searching and figuring out next steps a CCDP can be an awesome ally. CCDP stands for Certified Career Development Practitioner or otherwise referred to as a CDP Career Development Professional.

Here at the Trenton MFRC Employment & Education Support Program we are thrilled to welcome Jessica Pepper as our new Employment & Education Navigator. A fellow CCDP, Jessica gets the world of career development and is eager to share her knowledge, skills, and resources with our military families.

Listen in as we chat about Career Development, play a robust game of yay or nah and then tie it all together with our wish lists.

Always seeking to hear from our military families, we will share some new initiatives while inviting you to chime in and let us know what you need in the areas of employment, education, and entrepreneurship.

So, if you are ready, let’s get started, because as always, the clues await!
