If you’re trying to get back into the workforce after a caregiving or extended break, you know how tough it can be to look for a job with a gap in your resume. That’s why we teamed up with Fairygodboss to hold a special webinar exploring one solution that’s increasingly being offered by companies – a returnship.

Path Forward’s Executive Director Tami Forman and alumni of Path Forward programs – Hagit Katzenelson from Walmart Labs, and Neema Bollampally from LendingClub – share their expertise, offer advice, and talk about their own returnship experiences.
