WORKFORCE INVESTMENT
Videoconference Workshops
brought to you by Schuylkill Career Link Center
Students must be prepared to enter the world
of work. Not only do students need job skills and educational aptitudes for
their chosen occupation, but knowing how to interview, prepare a resume, and
understand how to succeed and lead on the job are just a few job acquiring and
sustaining skills necessary no matter what the occupation.
The Schuylkill Career Link Center will offer
by appointment, videoconference workshops on the following topics:
|
Job Search: How to use the Career Link Website to Your
Advantage. This session will teach you how to access the Team
Pennsylvania Career Link website. Instruction includes: how to
enroll; completing a resume; searching for jobs; and, how to access
your personal folder. |
|
Guest Speakers: Individuals from business/industry speak to
your students about their specific job duties. For example: If
each school district has a group of students interested in
electronics, we will have a session with an individual who works in
this field to discuss his/her job and answer any questions the
students may have. |
