Program Activities
ABLE Job Search provides participants with up to three months of group and individual assistance in conducting an effective job search. The purpose of the program is to provide unemployed and underemployed job seekers with the guidance and supports needed to navigate an increasingly complicated and competitive job search process and eventually apply. The goal of the program is the development of strong and effective job search tools and eventually placement into unsubsidized employment.
ABLE Job Search includes the following components:
* Group job search sessions covering a range of job search topics including goal setting, resume and cover letter development, job retention techniques and effective networking
* Employer-led workshops focusing on company job application processes, employer expectations, worksite communication, social networking, and effective interviewing.
* Individual career and job counseling.
* Job development and placement assistance.
* Interview tips and practice including mock interviews conducted by current and former Human Resource representatives.
* Assistance in mastering the on-line job application process.
* Assistance in ensuring that each participant contacts with a minimum of twelve employers per month. Most contacts should be formal job applications for suitable and appropriate jobs.
* Support from job development and placement staff in identifying and accessing potential and appropriate job openings.
