Later this month, Larimer County Workforce will be conducting a "Laid Off Camp." This a free event, but you must register to attend. From the announcement it sounds as though this has a strong focus on networking and may be of interest to entrepreneurs as well. This camp will follow an "unconference" format and so the participants will help shape the program.
From the website: "This is an ad-hoc "unconference" born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is a powerful event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join."
For information... Larimer County Laid Off Camp
Camp will be held December 30th from 1-6 p.m. at the Larimer County Workforce Center in the County Courthouse Offices.
Happy Finals Week!
