Initiatives

Vocational Counseling: We assess skills, abilities, experience, and interests through one-on-one counseling with the client. We then develop and direct each client through an informal, individual job search plan.

Outreach: We develop and maintain relationships with the general public, employers, and related service organizations in order to enhance networking opportunities for our clients.

Resume Preparation: We design professional, skills, and accomplishment-oriented resumes that are credible and attention gathering.

Assisted Job Placement/Networking: We assist clients in networking within the employment community to develop job leads. We also work closely with area Job Centers, various agencies, and employers for client placements.

Workshops: We teach interviewing techniques, job search and networking tactics, cover letters writing, and the basic do's and don'ts of job searching.

Informal Referrals: We provide informal referrals to other agencies for clients seeking help to overcome any difficulty (drug & alcohol, psychological, financial) which impedes the employment process.

Job Fairs: We hold job fairs on a regular basis. Job leads and local contact personnel are available to enhance networking opportunities for our clients.

Client Thumbnail Sketches: We provide employers with updated background skill sketches enabling them to match their employment needs with our client's skills and training.
Library: We have an updated job book of openings, as well as publications and Internet access for job search purposes. A computer/printer is available for clients to create cover letters.

Job Placement Follow-up: We recognize the importance of post-placement follow-up. A follow-up discussion with the client can often eliminate potential problems and aid in employee retention at the job site.

Job Retraining Assistance: At times we have limited job training funding. If you meet the criteria, you may qualify for specific funding if it will result in obtaining a job, promotion, or full time employment from a part-time status.

Referral Assistance: For Veterans dealing with PTSD and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), we are able to direct clients to specific professional and informal readjustment counseling programs.
