Finally, a few words of wisdom from an MSG graduate: “Start the job search now, don’t wait until graduation. Begin by identifying the organizations/companies that are in line with your career goals and learn as much as you can about them. This will give you a clearer understanding about what skills and/or knowledge it is you need to focus on the remainder of the year.” For more information on the Multipurpose Senior Services Program, visit: |
