NGU Own Your GAP Mastertalk

Women often face struggles as they leave the workplace and feel stigmatized, even to the point of feeling ill-equipped to return to their chosen profession. A GAP in your resume does NOT have to be a negative thing.

  • Planning to leave the workforce?
  • Looking to return to the workforce after time away?
  • Just longing to shift your career?

Connect with other women in a roundtable discussion about how you can plan for your GAP, utilize and maximize your skills while out of the workforce, and successfully re-enter the workforce reenergized by your GAP experiences.

Become involved in changing the narrative associated with the GAP for the professional woman. Join us at the “Own Your Gap” Round Table sponsored by North Greenville University in partnership with the SC Department of Commerce. Download the event flyer here.
