Yes. My former employer sent us to just such a class (It was optional, but as you said, if its available, take it), and in my case it helped *a lot*. Mind you, the only reason it helped a lot was that the instructor a) gave a crap, b) had been through two layoffs himself, and c) was really good at what he did. The other "career consultant" to whom I was assigned (he was supposed to review my resume, etc.) was absolutely useless. I don't know if its possible, but before parting with any money, try to determine what you're actually going to get in return. The quality does vary.
