Welcome to the companion website for Gifts for the Journey, a "must" book for career changers, of all ages and any field, who want to find meaningful work. It includes screened websites for every stage of the career development and job search process.

Gifts for the Journey is a trademark name for a program and publication of Mennonite Central Committee's Employment Development department. The word "gifts" refers to the skills, abilities, talents, personality preferences, temperament and character that we bring to the world.
