JOB BOARD

JRT/JP

Job Readiness Training/Job Placement services are for clients who have clear and realistic job goals and the skills training and/or experience to obtain employment in that field. JRT/JP helps clients identify job leads, develop strong resumes, polish interview skills, and prepare for returning to work.

Be Part of a club

JRT/JP is run in a job club format.  Job clubs are small groups of job seekers who meet to support and share information with one another as they look for employment opportunities. 

Get Educated

Job Placement professionals run workshops, oversee computer activities, and meet one-on-one with individuals to ensure they get the attention and particular services they need.

Be Empowered

Although Job Placement professionals are present and available for assistance and guidance, JRT/JP is fundamentally about empowering clients to become effective managers of their own job search activities.
