From getting your first job or business investment to advancing in your career, career development never ends.
Free resources, often funded by state or county initiatives or corporate sponsors, aren’t always easy to find. This month, Technical.ly highlights five free workshops happening in Delaware for people looking for entrepreneurial resources, a job promotion, or an entirely new career.
These opportunities are offered in-person and online, and are all brought to you by Delaware organizations. If you have a workshop or event you’d like to share, check out our new Technical.ly events board.
