Free workshops to help job seekers know where to look for employment and how best to go about getting work will be held Tuesday and Wednesday evenings by the University of Phoenix.
The private university will hold its "Growing Careers" workshops Tuesday at its Pleasant Grove campus, 2174 W. Grove Parkway, and Wednesday at its facility in Taylorsville, 4393 S. Riverboat Road. Both run from 5:45 p.m. to 9 p.m.
"To be competitive, employers recognize they must continue to seek out high-quality workers," said Darris Howe, a University of Phoenix vice president and director of Utah operations, in a release.
"Companies are still hiring, but are being more selective and deliberate about staffing decisions," he added. "Candidates who can demonstrate how their experience fits into an organization's long-term plan will have an advantage."
University instructors will help workshop participants improve their résumé writing and verbal interviewing skills and will provide advice on traits that appeal to company job recruiters.
Participants also will receive information, based on data from CareerBuilder.com, about the best Utah industries in which to look for work in the next year.
That data suggested about 25,000 openings will develop this coming year in a field categorized as "administrative outsourcing services," which often involves temporary help filling positions such as secretaries and office assistants.
Health clinics and hospices are expected to add 11,400 jobs, while another 10,700 openings are anticipated at hospitals.
