An expanded schedule of free classes designed to support jobseekers, employees and employers across Bermuda has been announced by the Department of Workforce Development.

In addition to established sessions on resume writing, cover letters, interview preparation and job search strategies, the department has introduced several new topics to address the broader skills needed to succeed in the workplace.

These include money management basics, emotional intelligence and workplace resilience, work ethic and accountability, career pathways and growth planning, and communication and influence in the workplace.

Dedicated Navigating Bermuda Job Connect sessions will be offered separately for jobseekers and employers, ensuring each group receives practical guidance tailored to experiences on the platform.

Sonya Clarke, the acting director of workforce development, said: “Work readiness extends beyond securing a job.

“It includes building the confidence, knowledge and practical skills needed to succeed and grow in the workplace.

“By expanding our training programme, we are responding to the evolving needs of Bermuda’s workforce and helping individuals prepare for meaningful, sustainable employment.”

Other sessions will cover transferable skills, critical thinking, time management, reading comprehension, employee rights and responsibilities, and workplace success.

Classes will be held at the Department of Workforce Development Training Facility at Bermuda College. Space is limited, and advance registration is encouraged.
