Your library has been helping the unemployed and underemployed (aka job
seekers) in your community for a long time. However, the declining economy
over the past year has dramatically increased the demands on library staff,
services, and resources. Would you like to learn about some successful
programs in other libraries? Do you wonder if there are some new ideas you
could try for getting patrons started? Would you like to know the resources
other libraries recommend to job seekers? Are you interested in partnerships
but feel unsure who to talk to? 

 

This webinar will help you by introducing three successful programs, giving
you a fresh look at getting started in helping job seekers, providing
information about some "best resources", and exploring agencies and
organizations you may consider partnering with. 

 

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: 

 

.         Assess where job seekers are in the job search process 

.         Identify at least three new job search resources 

.         List local agencies or organizations to pursue as possible
partners 

 

Speakers:  Bernice Kao, Raye Oldham, Megan Pittsley.
