We have students who want to advance their careers, as well as those who want to switch concentrations so they can make a change in their careers,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soto, an executive board member of the Delaware Hispanic Commission, made two versions of the hour-long workshop, one in English and one in Spanish. In addition to its audience of WilmU students, \u201cHow to Assess Your Career at Any Age\u201d also attracted international viewers from as far afield as Chile and Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having founded Brenda Soto Associates, a human performance improvement consulting firm, after many years in the corporate world, Soto empathizes with working students who are intent on making transitions to advance their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes it\u2019s because you want to make a change and sometimes it\u2019s out of your control. Your organization shuts down. Or there\u2019s a pandemic,\u201d she says. \u201cEither way, it\u2019s an opportunity to reinvent yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the positive response to her February workshop, Soto says, she is developing a series of monthly workshops scheduled to begin later this spring.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brenda Soto, an adjunct instructor in Wilmington University\u2019s College of Business and an expert in human resources, presented a virtual workshop on how people in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3023,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[71,615],"class_list":["post-3022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-college-of-business","tag-faculty-feature"],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":2,"label":"ACADEMIC NEWS"}],"post_tag":[{"value":71,"label":"College of Business"},{"value":615,"label":"Faculty Feature"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Biz-Art-676x480.jpg",676,480,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Rebecca Slinger","author_link":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/author\/rebecca\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":2,"name":"ACADEMIC NEWS","slug":"academic-news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":559,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":460,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":2,"category_count":460,"category_description":"","cat_name":"ACADEMIC NEWS","category_nicename":"academic-news","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":71,"name":"College of Business","slug":"college-of-business","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":628,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":92,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":615,"name":"Faculty Feature","slug":"faculty-feature","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1172,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":23,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3022"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3022\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15683,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3022\/revisions\/15683"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
