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.
Resume Preparation: We design professional, skills, and accomplishment-oriented resumes that are credible and attention gathering. Computers and printers are available for clients to create cover letters and a resume. Our library of resume writing, interview guides, and tips for employment is available to any veteran or family member.
Workshops: We teach interviewing techniques, job search and networking tactics, cover letters writing, and the basic do's and don'ts of job searching. These classes are held weekly. Please call for times.
Job Fairs: Our Johnstown office holds job fairs on a regular basis. Job leads and local contact personnel are available to enhance networking opportunities for our clients.
Outreach: We develop and maintain relationships with the general public, employers, and related service organizations in order to enhance networking opportunities for our clients.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We have an updated job book of openings, as well as publications and Internet access for job search purposes. Our computer room is available from 8:30am-4:30pm daily for online job search and employment information.
