Mission
Rotary Works is an initiative provided for Rotarians and Rotaractors within Zones 33 & 34 experiencing career transition. This initiative is comprised of three distinct programs, providing education, networking, and/or financial resources for participants, providing mentorship opportunities for personal and professional development.
The Project
The first Rotary Works program to launch was our Career Development Professional Series, offered on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 1:00 pm Eastern time, via Zoom. Each month includes a session with business professionals in career development, exchanging ideas and having conversations with experts in their field. These “mentors” will provide information and inspiration for those in attendance seeking opportunities of self-exploration, self-improvement and ultimately seeking employment or entrepreneurial prospects.
Interested Rotarians and Rotaractors may also request the help of a one-on-one coach to assist with and accelerate their career transition plans.
This spring Zones 33 and 34 will provide a “Job Board”, where you will be able to search for employment opportunities, post open positions, request a mentor, become a mentor, and find valuable and relevant career transition resources.
Finally, we are establishing an Impact Fund designed to assist Rotarians and Rotaractors in Zones 33 and 34, who may have experienced financial stress an opportunity to apply for a one-time grant of $500. The potential to help those in need is a top priority for us. Rotarians helping Rotarians in career development is the essence of Vocational Service.
