Davidson Career Transition Program
The Davidson Career Transition Program (DCTP) is a joint ministry of Davidson United Methodist Church (DUMC) and Davidson College Presbyterian Church (DCPC) to provide job search support for anyone who needs it (including but not limited to the congregation members of either church). The program holds workshops on the first Wednesday of each month, with the exception of July, in Room 216/218 of the Alexander Education Building of DUMC. The workshops are from 10:00 a.m. – noon, with optional time for networking beginning at 9:30 a.m.
The program is staffed with retired and semi-retired volunteers who provide coaching on career strategies, networking, resumes, interviewing, and offer negotiations. This is provided in the monthly workshops as well  as via one-to-one interaction with the volunteers. The program also has third party speakers with relevant experience (placement groups for example). It however is not a placement service, nor does it maintain a job posting board. If you would like to learn more, please contact Gail Spach at DUMC at  .
