Enhance your writing skills and ensure you're up to date on current standards and best practices

With our new on-demand training, learn at your own pace... whenever your schedule allows!

• Do you make a living writing resumes and cover letters for clients?
• Are you a coach or advisor who helps job seekers with their resumes and cover letters?
  
• Do you teach resume/cover letter classes or workshops?
  
• Or are you simply interested in learning about current standards and best practices for writing effective resumes and cover letters?

We make it easy for you to fit valuable training into your busy schedule. Foundations is offered all year round and you can sign up at any time. Once you’re registered, you can finish the program in a few hours, a couple of weeks, or anytime within 90 days.

Now available on Teachable, a global online learning platform used by millions around the world, the Foundations program is organized into four instruction modules, each one covering a specific aspect of crafting modern resumes and cover letters:

• Module 1: Discovery Process & Strategy

• Module 2: Essential Resume Content: Summaries, Experience, and Accomplishments

• Module 3: Additional Resume Sections & Cover Letters

• Module 4: Formatting & Writing Quality

Presented by longtime NRWA writing instructor Norine Dagliano, the training is delivered in one-hour recordings, featuring multiple handouts and worksheets to supplement the instruction. Each module concludes with a quiz to test your understanding and provide an immediate refresher of key points presented during instruction.

As a bonus, the curriculum includes a portfolio of case study documents, based on an actual client. Integrated throughout each module, the case study illustrates how various concepts apply in a real-life situation. Before you start the program, you’ll download the case study documents to refer to throughout the course… and beyond.

Once you’ve watched all the recordings and completed each quiz, you will receive a certificate of completion and eight (8) CEUs. Then you’ll have the option of registering for one or two of our add-on modules, each targeting a specific demographic: staff who work in college career centers and workforce development offices.

ADD-ON MODULES

Upon completion of the Foundations training, professionals who work in specialized fields may purchase one or both additional modules, depending on their specific needs:

College Career Center Module
This module is designed for college career center staff (and business owners) who assist students by teaching resume/cover letter classes, providing guidance to students, and/or critiquing student documents.

Workforce Development Center Module
This module is designed for staff in workforce development centers, employment services offices, vocational rehabilitation centers, and outplacement firms, who assist job seekers with their career transitions.

Both of these modules are geared toward professionals who may not write resumes and  cover letters, but who instead assist clients by teaching resume/cover letter classes, providing guidance on how to write a resume/cover letter, and/or critiquing client documents. Business owners who work directly with this demographic will also benefit from additional training and resources.

Instruction will address the challenges and opportunities in working with professionals who may be experiencing recent job loss or who are making a career change. Through the use of case studies, worksheets, and supplemental resources, you will learn how to develop modern resumes and cover letters that illustrate relevant skills and experiences, minimize potential barriers/biases, and position clients to reach their target goals.
