Dominican University’s Brennan School of Business presents a lecture on career change on Monday, April 7 at 7:00 p.m. in Bluhm Lecture Hall in Parmer Hall, 7900 W. Division Street, River Forest. The lecture, titled “Understanding What Your Career is in Today’s Corporate Environment,” will be presented by human resources practitioner Paul Schneider, a founding partner in SSP BPI Group, an outplacement and executive coaching firm.

With today’s economic uncertainties, technological developments and new attitudes toward work, career change—whether by choice or necessity—is increasingly common. Schneider, who works with individuals in transition to help them assess their skills and marketability, will discuss the problems and opportunities involved in changing careers.

Schneider has over 25 years of human resources professional experience in a variety of industries, from plant level to corporate headquarters. Before founding SSP, he was vice president-human resources for Griffith Laboratories and held the senior-level human resources position for U.S. Gypsum. He holds a master’s degree from Loyola University’s Institute of Human Resources and Industrial Relations.

The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, please call (708) 524-6810.
