Course Description:

More than a CE course — this is your roadmap to building a sustainable, empowered temping career.

This practical and empowering 2-part workshop is designed for dental hygienists who want to take control of their schedule, income, and career path through temping.

You’ll learn how to navigate office systems, adapt with confidence, and deliver high-quality patient care — all while running your temping career like a business. From setting your rates to building repeat bookings, this course helps you create structure, professionalism, and long-term success.
