YWCA Names Gordon Gray as New Career Services Program Manager

(Boulder, Colo.) --The YWCA of Boulder County is pleased to announce that Gordon Gray, former director of career services with CU-Boulder, will serve as the YWCA’s Program Manager for Career Services.

Since retiring from CU, Gray has remained professionally active as a part-time Career Transition Consultant for employees leaving Rocky Flats. He also has offered private career consulting.

 Gray has volunteered as a career counselor at the YWCA for the past year. In his new role, Gray will manage the YWCA’s career services program that features one-on-one career counseling, assessment tools including Myer-Briggs Personality Preference Indicator and the Strong Career Interest Inventory, career workshops and the 40+ Career Search series. Also, the program features assistance with the job search process such as resumes, interviewing, networking, using the computer and more.

 The YWCA will reopen its Career Resource Center complete with job search material and free computer access when the facility opens its remodeled building this summer.

 Gray says he’s very pleased to become a part of a nonprofit organization with a career program dedicated to providing personalized career services for a wide range of career professionals.

 “I enjoy working with the clients who range in age from 20 to 80 and walks of life,” said Gray. “It is very rewarding to work with clients who become decisive and focused related to their career or successfully land an attractive job.”

The YWCA’s Career Services Program also features volunteer professional career counselors who work with clients regarding their specific career needs.

 To learn more or to make an appointment with Gray or other YWCA career counselors, please call the YWCA at  (303) 443-0419.
