We'd Love to Hear From You!

Were you able to attend the 2012 Employment Expo?
Whether you were there as a Student, a Job Seeker, a Support Person, a family member of a Job Seeker, a volunteer member of "The Crew", an Expo Partner, an Expo Exhibitor or an Expo Sponsor, we appreciated you being part of the 2012 Ability Axis Employment Expo!
We hope to hear back from you about your experience. The online survey is now available. Go to our homepage to give us "your two cents". But don't worry, if you navigate away from our homepage, you can still find the survey on every page of our website at the top of the right-hand column.

Thank you to the Job Seekers who attended the 2012 Employment Expo
|
| As a job seeker or career explorer, we hope that you found the 2012 Employment Expo invaluable!
Whether it was speaking with a potential employer, a service agency who could assist with your job search, networking with other job seekers, gaining insight and information from our presenters, we hope that you came away from the Expo feeling supercharged about the potential to find meaningful employment.
And, please don't take this the wrong way, but we hope that you will not be joining us for the 2013 Expo - because you will be happily working in your new-found career!
For those of you who will join us, watch for all the exciting announcements we'll make in 2013!

Job Development Essentials
|
|
|
 This Second edition of Job Development Essentials provides practical advice for workforce development professionals-the same advice found in the first edition, but with a stronger emphasis on engaging employers, providing expanded services to the business community and involving businesspeople as resources and advocates for an organization.
This new edition still includes strategies, solutions and sample responses to the knottiest problems job developers face, along with quick self-assessments for all elements of the profession. As one of the few available resources for job developers, Essentials can be especially useful to those working for publicly funded organizations striving to successfully serve both job seekers and employers. It can also help organizations and frontline workers meet performance measures related not only to placement but also to retention and customer satisfaction.Written by: Carol Clymer, Laura Wyckoff
Published by: Public/Private Ventures (Paperback, Coil Bound, 100 Pages) This publication is regularly available for $29.00 USD, plus applicable tax and shipping. To select this or any of the available products, go to the Diversity World Store.
