CareerOneStop is a comprehensive career, education, and job search website. The website offers tools, resources, and information to help users explore careers, make education and training decisions, search for jobs locally or nationally, and find local assistance, including their closest American Job Center. CareerOneStop is widely used by job seekers, students, businesses, and workforce professionals.
This webinar focuses on the CareerOneStop resources, and its new section for New Americans, that are most helpful for the unique needs of immigrants, refugees, and other new Americans. Many have language or other barriers to employment. Some have never participated in a formal workforce. Others have advanced professional credentials obtained outside the United States.
Whether you have experience serving these customers or want a basic toolkit, this webinar will demonstrate tools and curriculum that can be customized for a wide range of backgrounds. Expect to learn how to help clients answer these questions:
- What types of jobs am I qualified for?
- How can I gain skills or credentials?
- Where can I find, and how do I apply for, quality job openings?
We’ll cover core tools including: an interest assessment, career profiles and videos, training locators, and job search tools such as the Job Finder, Practice Job Application, and more.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, CareerOneStop is available at no cost.
