New Training Program for Professionals Looking for Midlife Career Change
Professionals looking for a career change can enroll in a Mediation Intensive Program that can help them transition into a new profession that is consistently ranked as one of the top professions.
New York, New York, August 10, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Professionals looking for a new career can now enroll in a Mediation Certification Program that will help them transition into a new profession that is consistently ranked as one of the top professions.
US News and World Report recently voted mediation one of the top professions for its upward mobility, high pay scale and better quality of life. The rapid growth from litigation to arbitration has created a shortage of trained mediation professionals in this high paying profession.
"Our mediation training teaches valuable skill sets that can be used in all facets of life, especially at work and home where disputes are common. Our students have left jobs they didn't like and went onto new careers in private practice, mediating or working for the courts or starting mediation firms."
Elizabeth Clemants, CEO of Planning Change
Planning Change is one of the premiere training programs in the nation for mediation training. It's been featured in Inc. Magazine, Crains New York and Channel 11 in New York.
Its Mediation Certification Program begins in September with basic mediation training for those interested in developing a private practice in mediation. You say Mediation three times in this one sentence. Maybe you meant to. You could say Basic Training. Up to you.
Its 100-hour long certification program holds three certification by the New York State Unified Court System, giving certificate holders the first qualifications needed to join a variety of court roster.
During the Advanced training program, students select a mediation career track to focus on. Options include: 1) Family or Divorce Mediation, which trains mediators in the skill of resolving disputes and conflict in the home. 2) Small or Commercial Business Mediation, which can help professionals looking to resolve business disputes. 3) Professional Development, a program that is geared towards students interested in adding new career skill sets to help them further their career.
This in-depth mediation training program, which begins on September 19-20th in NYC, will be taught by Elizabeth Clemants – the CEO of Small Business Arbitration Center of New York and founder of Planning Change.
Clemants has more than 18 years of experience mediating conflict between managers and employees to avoid a situation from escalating to the courtroom, as well as divorces, family matters, estates, small businesses and other types of cases. She has been a certified mediation trainer for the New York State Unified Court System since 2000.
"Our mediation training teaches valuable skill sets that can be used in all facets of life, especially at work and home where disputes are common," said Clemants. "Our students have left jobs they didn't like and went onto new careers in private practice, mediating or working for the courts or starting mediation firms."
A career change at age 30 is becoming more and more frequent, but most people searching for a new profession don't know where to start. This intensive 100-hour conflict management course can guide professionals through the process for a career change.
In addition to acquiring professional mediator skills, participants who take the certified mediation training programs will be invited to take an 8-week elective workshop where they receive personalized guidance in how to launch their own private practice.
This course provides excellent opportunities to conceptualize your new business, build networks and referral sources, while focusing on an area of conflict resolution that is of particular interest to each new mediator.
