Library System of Lancaster County and PA CareerLink Collaborate on Career Planning Seminar
The Library System of Lancaster County and the Business Services Team of the PA CareerLink of Lancaster County will be offering a free seminar entitled “Personal Career Planning: Getting from Here to There" at library locations in Adamstown, Columbia, Ephrata, Lancaster, Manheim Township, and Quarryville. The seminars will be offered throughout the fall and end mid-December, 2009. The 90-minute program is designed to help people who are looking for work to become more focused on their job search.
Each of the libraries will provide at least one of the seminars each month with several providing two per month, one during the day and another in the evening. See attached for a schedule of the information sessions.
In the course of the program, participants learn how to assess their own interests and skills under the leadership of a workforce development professional from the Business Services Team of the PA CareerLink. The seminar leader introduces those attending to the Top 100 Hot Jobs in Lancaster County which are the top picks of the Lancaster County Workforce Investment Board for where the recovery will begin in our regional economy. More information on these jobs and the education and training that are required to get them is offered.
Most of the latter part of the program introduces those attending to the services of the PA CareerLink that include Ready2Work, its workforce readiness program, as well as the wide array of short-term training options that are provided through funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Training includes construction, building maintenance, administrative support, forklift driving, welding, bookkeeping, sales, and many others.
