Trainings & Workshops

WPTI partnered with Andrea Gerson on a virtual workshop, Career Coaching for Underserved Communities. This was one of our most highly attended training sessions in the series. Since then, we have received unprompted glowing reviews about Andrea's engaging training style and ability to present complex or amorphous concepts.

I am confident in saying that Andrea's passion for the work of connecting low-income job seekers to pathways out of poverty, and refined delivery, make her among the most effective trainers I have had the pleasure of observing in my own 20+ years of providing staff development to thousands of frontline practitioners from hundreds of organizations.

Andrea facilitated an 8-hour career academy for members of NAWDP. Andrea was extremely knowledgeable, well-prepared and engaging. Andrea’s presentation was given high reviews from both the attendees and staff of NAWDP. In the follow up survey, 100% of attendees stated that the Academy was valuable to them!

More recently, Andrea led a workshop on assessments and resumes for trainers and supervisors of career coaches. as part a collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor.  We had over 3,800 registrations, which was notably more than past sessions, and one of the highest attended webinars that we have hosted.  98% of attendees said that they would recommend this training to a colleague. Participants were actively engaged, and Andrea facilitated the session with professionalism and enthusiasm. I would absolutely recommend Andrea and Resume Scripter!

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Andrea on a resume development event through my work with the Association for Fundraising Professionals (NYC Chapter). She is a focused, confident and dynamic speaker whom I could not recommend more highly. Her passion and enthusiasm for her work is clearly evidenced and our audience remained highly engaged. She generously tailored her presentation to our audience and graciously took the time to answer all questions with great care. Thank you, Andrea! You truly know your stuff and we are so glad to have worked with you.

I met Andrea when she conducted a series of sessions to train job developers on how to review resumes and creatively utilize transferable skills. using keywords and how to demonstrate measurable success.

Many were skeptical, as it is easy to assume there isn't much to learn about resumes and cover letters from someone who is an "outsider." To everyone's surprise, Andrea made the sessions informative, engaging and fun. I walked away with a renewed sense of inspiration and awe for the art of resume writing! Since then, apart from informing my work at the time, the skills Andrea helped enhance have certainly helped me in my own career growth. I have also tried to move it forward and regularly provide feedback and moral support to colleagues on their own job applications. I wish Andrea tall the best on her incredible entrepreneurial journey, and recommend her without any reservation!

Andrea Gerson's resume workshop is fantastic. She conveys an armload of great tips and best practices in a direct, easy-to-implement, and fun way--helping job-seekers avoid the pitfalls that can keep top-notch workers from rising above the pack. Some of her best advice is around quantifying one's accomplishments; choosing the right resume design for the industry; and using active, consistent grammar throughout. I highly recommend it!

Andrea led a series of 12 trainings for over 50 of our career counselors and network partners over a period of six months.  

Andrea's style of training was very personable and calm, providing ample time for questions from the participants.

The attendees consistently responded that the trainings were informative and actionable, and they were able to leverage their learnings to improve the impact and efficiency of their services.

Henry Street Settlement collaborated with Andrea from Resume Scripter to develop a self-paced digital training program for career counselors. Throughout the span of one year, our organization worked closely with Andrea to create the extensive training program consisting of over 40 modules.

Since implementing this training program, we have observed significant positive outcomes among our staff. They now feel more confident and equipped to assist their clients in overcoming complex career challenges. By enhancing their knowledge and skills, our counselors are better prepared to guide individuals towards successful employment outcomes, ultimately fostering greater self-sufficiency and economic empowerment within our community.
